Broomfield, CO, Oct. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The most compelling stories are the ones rooted in truth. And for author Donald DeStefano, grounding his novel with real-life events felt right. In his new novel, Tony Calamusa: The Fixer, DeStefano draws from his own life experiences to tell the story of a man who turned his life around and forged a bright future.
Set in the 1950s through the 1980s, Tony Calamusa: The Fixer, follows one man’s rise from reckless youth to government asset. Raised by his mother in a disadvantaged neighborhood in the Bronx, Tony lacks discipline and guidance, but after he joins the US Marine Corps, he excels and captures the attention of the base commander. The two men bond, and after graduation, the commander uses his influence to secure a high-level position for Tony at Hanford Nuclear Facility. The government uses Tony to remove obstacles in their way, and in so doing, he gains the reputation as a fixer. Later, Tony is offered a job with the DEA, where he is once again tasked with neutralizing individuals that are considered obstacles.
Joining the military can be a critical re-set. And like Tony, joining the marines was DeStefano’s salvation, and it changed the course of his life and set him on a path toward a meaningful life. Offering a unique perspective on internal affairs within government institutions, DeStefano’s narrative explores government red tape and takes readers behind the scenes of leadership through the eyes of a government fixer. A fascinating American success story, Tony Calamusa illustrates the power of redemption and reaching one’s potential.
