Author Erick Charles’s New Book, “Windy City Gangster,” Shares the Author’s View of Life Growing Up in the Gang-Plagued Neighborhoods of Chicago’s North Side


Chicago, IL, March 17, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Erick Charles has completed his new book, “Windy City Gangster”: a one-of-a-kind personal memoir that shares how, from the slums of the West Indies to the urban jungle of the mean streets of America’s third largest city, the author manages to adapt while learning and utilizing the tools provided from an array of characters, from drug dealers to pimps.

Charles writes, “The federal government created Chicago Housing Projects to help contain and house the black immigrants coming from the South. All of this was an experiment, sort of speaking, coming for a better life. Those housing projects were known as Robert Taylor Homes, Henry Holmes, State Way Garden, the Village, and the Cabrini-Green Housing Project. These same projects are where many of the modern-day street gangs originated from. You also have the white area, which is in Bridgeview’s community, where the Daley family used to stay.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Erick Charles’s intense work shares how, through his trials and tribulations, he manages to survive.

From behind the walls of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Charles provides an outlook of his hardships, along with numerous lessons which would later become the soundtrack to the life of one of the city’s most feared yet revered Insane Gangsters.

Readers who wish to experience this astonishing work can purchase “Windy City Gangster” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

In “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!”, readers are introduced to a period, an exclamation point, and a question mark who all long for a change of pace and decide to switch places one day. However, they soon discover they are not well suited for performing their new roles, and decide that they were made perfect for their original purpose.

Published by Hawes & Jenkins Publishing, Denise A. Powis’s engaging tale will delight readers of all ages as they discover the importance of accepting one’s self and being true to who they really are. With colorful artwork and a powerful life lesson, “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!” will help boost confidence amongst young readers, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page.

Why Music Matters—Especially in Later Life

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.

Inside the Community Spirit

“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”

How to Buy the Book—and Support Local Charities

The coffee-table style book is priced at £15. Copies can be purchased by contacting any of the five homes directly; card payments can be taken over the phone and books can be posted. A portion of every sale will be donated to local charities.
