I have been fighting a battle all alone. Most people do not know about it. It is a battle I fight so fiercely I could scream. Actually, last night I did scream. I was standing in my robe in the front yard (As I often do) sweeping a few leaves that were gathering. That’s when I saw him. He looked at me as if nothing was wrong and sauntered over. Oh how he makes me so mad! That’s when he did it. That cat pooped in my flowerbed… AGAIN!! He has been leaving me HUGE presents for months now. Gross! OH STOP DOING THAT! There I was, in my blue robe, screaming at a cat, and waving my broom around. My dreams of being a cool mom flying right out the window

A Blazing Gilded Age
Rich DiSilvio
Genre: Contemporary Fiction | Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
“A Blazing Gilded Age” is the epic story of a volatile nation burning with ambition, yet bleeding with injustice. It was a time of profound change; boldly transforming from an agrarian backwater into an industrial powerhouse.
Center stage in this turbulent saga are the Wozniaks; a poor coal mining family struggling to achieve the elusive American dream. Confronted by the evil ways of their ruthless and depraved boss, Archibald Desmond Huxley, the Wozniak family is thrust into utter turmoil, thus igniting a blazing journey of revenge and survival.
During the Wozniaks’ quest, the lavish lifestyle of Huxley and his fellow titans, including J.P. Morgan, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Teddy Roosevelt, Mark Twain and others, are woven into the story line, thus painting a broad and vivid canvas of 19th century America. Springing to life are legendary figures and historic events that accurately depict an era boiling with bravado, innovation and astounding progress, yet blistering with corporate greed, class warfare, and political corruption. After many unexpected twists of fate (some fortuitous and others heartbreaking), the Wozniaks emerge victorious, thus finally achieving the American dream, yet not without scars.
Both powerful and poignant, “A Blazing Gilded Age” serves as an entertaining and enlightening read of how and why America has gone astray, and why it became a world leader. While on a personal level, it imparts the harrowing, yet triumphant, tale of a family’s struggle to survive in an age that, in many ways, was as dark and rough as coal, and, at times, could be as blazing as Hell.

Burke E. Strunsky, a senior deputy district attorney in southern California, takes the reader inside the courtroom for some of the most haunting criminal cases in the state as well as the nation, including: a highly respected church leader who brutally murders his wife for the insurance money while their baby sleeps peacefully in another room; a twisted father who sexually molests his daughter’s own friends at her slumber parties; a former police chief who drowns his wife of thirty years in their backyard spa; and a young man who sadistically tortures and kills a helpless three-year-old boy, yet manages to dodge the death penalty.

Even in the midst of the darkest stories, the voices and courage of the victims and those who love them will leave the reader touched and inspired.
