I was disabled in 1992 and that's when I started my writing career. I was born in Brooklyn NY and brought up in an old fashion Italian family. I was married for 26 years and had two great boys. In 1996 I moved down to Marathon in the Florida Keys and bought a second home in Safety Harbor where I do most of my writing. I have just started my 28th noveland will write for the rest of my life. I am a widower and love fishing, diving and just going out on the boat and meeting interesting people and will always stop and speak to anyone. will always stop and speak to anyone.
