The Real King Of Miami, Author Tells True Life Counterpart To Films & Shows such as Savages, Scarface, and Snowfall.
Eric befriended Ray during his life imprisonment, and before his death, Ray became a father figure to him. Eric recorded the many colorful, harrowing, glamorous, and bone-chilling stories Ray told him about his life in crime. Eric’s upcoming book recalling his time with Ray, King of Miami, is a factual tale of how gangsters really lived and the fallout from the drug wars, a true real-life counterpart to films and shows such as Blow, Goodfellas, Savages, Scarface, Ozark, Narcos and Snowfall.  Eric is currently available for interviews.Like Ray Liotta’s character in Goodfellas, Eric Curtis Sande grew up idolizing the gangsters and drug dealers who ran his suburban neighborhood outside of Miami.  In the glamorous 1980s in South Florida, cocaine and other drugs were everywhere.  These dealers seemed to have all the yachts, the luxury cars, and the gorgeous women they could want.  Even Eric’s father, who hated drugs so much he told him he would kill him if he ever used, became a drug dealer — that’s how the good money was.  Eric spent much of his childhood with his father incarcerated for dealing. Eric’s biggest neighborhood hero, a local legend, was Ray “Little Ray’ Thompson, a real-life Scarface and drug kingpin, whose luxury yachts, often piloted by decoy seniors, brought in an estimated over 2 million pounds of marijuana into Ft. Lauderdale, one of the largest marijuana smuggling operations ever known to the feds.  Ray was captured by the FBI and imprisoned for life for multiple murders and assassinations.
