In October 2012, I jump started a campaign, through the IndieGogo.com crowd funding website. To help fund the research of the book I’m writing titled “Gangsters In Granite: A National Graveside Index of Reputed Mobsters.” The campaign ran for about three months, and ended on New Years Eve 2012. I’m delighted to inform you that more than half of the desired goal of what I was trying to raise was accomplished. The money raised when it’s finally deposited into my checking account from IndieGogo. Will be used for the procurement of books used in the research phase of this project. The money will also be used to get xerox copies of old newspaper articles, I’ve obtained from browsing microfilm reels, and other academic related crime periodicals, I’ll be procuring to further my research.

If you’re interested in aiding in the research of this book as a photo contributor, or with the contribution of information. Please email me whenever you feel is convenient. To make a long story short I’ve got an extensive list of mafia gravesites from around The United States which I’d most definitely LOVE photos of. If you do contribute factual/verifiable data, and/or photos, you will get credit with your name mentioned in the book as a photo, and/or info contributor. I’m really looking forward to hearing from you.
