NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2025 -- Known as the "King of Fraud" for his role in cybercrimes and wire fraud, Aleksandr Zhukov, now writing under the pen name Sasha Beetle, has traded his past life for storytelling. From a New York prison, he crafted Jonny Napper and the Dreamworld, a riveting young adult novel about a gifted teen and his extraordinary family who trade in dreams—literally.
Jonny Napper and the Dreamworld plunges readers into a richly imagined universe where dreams are not just figments of imagination but tangible commodities with life-altering consequences. At its heart, the novel explores Jonny's journey to uncover family secrets, grapple with extraordinary gifts, and navigate a world teeming with phantoms, shamans, a ghost ship, and a quest to find his missing mother.
Zhukov's path to writing is as extraordinary as his fiction. Dubbed the "King of Fraud" by the Department of Justice, his past culminated in a 10-year prison sentence for orchestrating multimillion-dollar schemes. Yet, in a twist worthy of his own stories, Zhukov turned his confinement into a creative crucible.
"Writing this book was my way of transforming my circumstances," says Zhukov. "From behind prison walls, I wanted to create a world where limitations don't exist—a story about resilience, creativity, and the power of dreams."
Through handwritten drafts and collaboration with his wife Svetlana, who painstakingly transcribed and translated his work, Jonny Napper and the Dreamworld became a reality. Svetlana, who resides in Moscow, Russia, has been a constant source of support, maintaining contact despite the physical distance and legal barriers. Although separated by more than six years, they continue to nurture their relationship through letters, phone calls, and their shared creative endeavor.
Aleksandr Zhukov's reinvention from fraudster to novelist proves that no one is confined by their past. Jonny Napper and the Dreamworld is available now on Amazon.
