Books by Jon Roberts

Every child is different. Some are noisy, talkative and outgoing while others are quiet and like to be on their own. Some differences are visible while others are not as evident. We are all unique. We all have our own lives, our own dreams and our own talents.

Kya and Martha are best friends. Both are on the autistic spectrum but express themselves in different ways. In school, Kya is quiet while Martha is very talkative and asks lots of questions. When it''s bedtime, Kya wants to stay awake while Martha is ready for bed once she gets tired. A Welsh adaptation of Through the Eyes of Us.

American Desperado is possibly the most jaw-dropping, event-filled, adrenaline-soaked criminal autobiography ever written. Like a real-life Scarface Jon was born into the upper levels of the Gambino crime family and witnessed his first murder at age seven. He became a one-man juvenile crime wave before joining an assassination squad in Vietnam. He returned to New York at age 20 to become one of the city's top nightclub promoters, then journeyed to Miami where he became the de facto transportation chief of the Medellin Cartel, and along with a tech-wizard partner, created some of the most sophisticated smuggling technologies ever. With a hulking 6'6"e; bodyguard always at his side, and a rural fortress protected by mortars, tear-gas cannons, and a gold-fanged attack dog, Roberts was brutally effective at what he did. To law enforcement, he was known as the "e;Bearded Gringo,"e; a spectre they could never touch. To United States senators and CIA officials, he was "e;the guy who can get things done"e;. He eventually formed a clandestine alliance with the US government and in the end found personal late-life redemption.
