To my Just Lassen to Me! readers and friends:
In the summer of 2005, I started my 15-year journey to contemplate and write down what had transpired, and why, in my life with my finagling entrepreneurial father and tumultuous immigrant family. With the final volume of my memoir series published in May, and then having updated all of my books (they can be found on www.IngramSpark.com and soon on www.Amazon.com and other online outlets), my journey is complete. It was not a smooth or easy voyage, with many hard lessons, challenging insights, and important learning along the way, but I believe I am better for it. And, I have been able to pen a powerful, poignant, and profound story for others to ponder, be prodded or provoked by, and gain pleasure from.
For those who have bought and read one or more of my books, and to those of you who wrote terrific book endorsements or Amazon reviews, thank you for your generous support of my life’s work. Thousands of dollars have been donated to the UUUM and Jan Doe to support victims of domestic violence and abuse, and I expect to give more as additional books are disseminated into the world.
Below, is a short description of my saga’s finale, to tickle your reading bone.
With the greatest appreciation,
Harvy Simkovits

Just Lassen to Me! – Book Four: Survivor Surviving
Volume Four of Just Lassen to Me! brings with it the culmination of the Johnny Simkovits and sons saga. We learn how Harvy survives his father’s furtive finances and his brother’s brazenness. More twists and turns, ups and downs, and ins and outs will emerge regarding Johnny’s legacy, both onshore and offshore.
See what happens as the family monarch gradually loses his faculties after surviving a serious hit to his health. Watch as Johnny undergoes a falling out with his third wife, and how he mismanages his money over his waning years. Can his sons reign in, mitigate, and overcome their father’s flagrant falls and foolish failures? More characters come to light in Johnny Simkovits’s money-hiding world. Some try to entice Harvy to keep up his father’s hidden empire, but will Johnny’s second son succumb to their advances?
After his dad’s passing, Harvy will endeavor to make amends with his brother, but will the confreres be able to work together and treat each other as equals? Watch as the departed Johnny continues to show up between his offspring as they attempt to survive their father and to contend with his financial fortunes justly.
Both soft landings and hard endings will culminate with Harvy’s stepmother, half-sister, uncle, and brother. Experience the conclusion of Johnny Simkovits’s unabashed straying with shady people, and learn about the disposition of his legitimate holdings and clandestine empire. Most importantly, will Harvy be able to put his dad’s distasteful dealings behind him, transcend his father’s legacy and family history, and come into his rightful own as a son of Johnny.
