Book Synopsis The Dark Wizard of Oz by : Ozzy Lembo
Download or read book The Dark Wizard of Oz written by Ozzy Lembo and published by Over the Edge Books. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exiled from the mafia at a young age, Orazio "Ozzy" Lembo went on to commit crimes the media declared would make "Al Capone blush" and "Dillinger envious." "Until his criminal curtain of deceit suddenly crashed down..." This is the fascinating true story of the invisible man the United States Treasury Department credited with masterminding the biggest heist of bank data in United States history. Just as his star was rising in the underground world, Ozzy Lembo, dubbed "the collection kid," was unexpectedly ousted by his powerful New Jersey mob boss. Although devastated, he had no intentions of abandoning his criminal aspirations-even after tasting success as a legitimate debt collector. Instead Ozzy expertly combined his underworld street smarts with legitimate debt collection experience to covertly steal over a trillion dollars in financial information from over a million unsuspecting debtors. Narrated with the same caustic wit and bullshit that effectively disguised his illegal operations in the open light of day, Ozzy details how government authorities only scratched the surface of his legendary deceit. For over a decade The Dark Wizard of Oz made millions duping law enforcement and the world's best security measures by blending a hilarious cocktail of fraud, drugs, sex, and payoffs like no ever had before. Or ever will again.

Book excerpt: Discover the story behind The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the book that inspired the iconic film, through the eyes of author L. Frank Baum’s intrepid wife, Maud, in this richly imagined novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Eighty-Dollar Champion and The Perfect Horse. “A breathtaking read that will transport you over the rainbow and into the heart of one of America’s most enduring fairy tales.”—Lisa Wingate, author of Before We Were Yours Hollywood, 1938: As soon as she learns that M-G-M is adapting her late husband’s masterpiece for the screen, Maud Gage Baum, now in her seventies, sets about trying to finagle her way onto the set. Nineteen years after Frank’s passing, Maud is the only person who can help the producers stay true to the spirit of the book—she’s the only one left who knows its secrets. But the moment she hears Judy Garland rehearsing the first notes of “Over the Rainbow,” Maud recognizes the yearning that defined her own life story, from her youth as a suffragist’s daughter to her hardscrabble prairie years with Frank, which inspired The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Judy reminds Maud of a young girl she cared for in South Dakota, a dreamer who never got a happy ending. Now, with the young girl under pressure from the studio as well as from her ambitious stage mother, Maud resolves to protect Judy—the way she tried so hard to protect the real Dorothy.

My name is Amy Gumm—and I'm the other girl from Kansas. I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. I've been trained to fight. And I have a mission: Remove the Tin Woodman's heart. Steal the Scarecrow's brain. Take the Lion's courage. And—Dorothy must die. I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero.

Download or read book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children's novel written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. Originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900, it has since been reprinted numerous times, most often under the name The Wizard of Oz, which is the name of both the popular 1902 Broadway musical and the well-known 1939 film adaptation. The story chronicles the adventures of a young girl named Dorothy Gale in the Land of Oz, after being swept away from her Kansas farm home in a cyclone.[nb 1] The novel is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture and has been widely translated. Its initial success, and the success of the 1902 Broadway musical which Baum adapted from his original story, led to Baum's writing thirteen more Oz books. The original book has been in the public domain in the US since 1956. Baum dedicated the book "to my good friend & comrade, My Wife," Maud Gage Baum. In January 1901, George M. Hill Company, the publisher, completed printing the first edition, which totaled 10,000 copies.
