New York City in the 1980s was a cesspool of corruption, violence and drugs. In a city gripped by fear, one man took it upon himself to bring order to the chaos, all while building an empire that would span the entire state. His name was Walter King, and the only thing more legendary than his reign was the path he blazed in his rise to the top of the underworld.
An homage to the great gangster stories of old, House of King tells the tale of one man's meteoric rise from obscurity to sitting on the throne of New York's most powerful criminal organization. With his enemies seeking to overthrow him from all sides and at any cost, Walter discovers the only thing harder than seizing the crown is keeping it.
Welcome to the House of King.

My name is Carlos J. King, and as you may've already surmised, telling stories in my passion. Whether it's an unsettling drama, a light-hearted comedy, a work of romantic fantasy or a dark crime novel, I thrive on creating an escape from a world that I sometimes desperately need a break from. Hopefully, you'll find the same degree of peace and entertainment in the alternate reality I evisioned.
I'm very passionate about writing and I respect all opinions of my work, and will consider them all to help me become a better storyteller. I love all comments--good or bad--and I most certainly appreciate all the readers who took time from their busy schedules to read my books. Thank you.
If you ever have any questions about current or upcoming novels--or just want to chat in general, feel free to reach out to me at carlosthewriterking@gmail.com
I'll look forward to corresponding with as many of you as possible.
