More about me

I'm an Italian American guy that now lives in Texas. It's a long an interesting story best told over a nice glass of merlot. My interests include a wide range of music and the arts. Sports also interst me, so time to finish my first novel has been a challenge. "Big Daddy's Caddy" should be complete in late '08. It is set in New Haven, CT circa 1960 thru 1973. Let's just say it's a comng of age story with gangster and mob  factions battling it out for turf supremacy.  It has all the good stuff: revenge, betrayal, loyalty, disloyalty and sometime honor amongst thieves(and drug dealers, pimps and loan sharks).The many social, political, racial and pop cultural events that occurred during this magical time are crafted into the story line, as well as the fantastic music of that era- I loved growing up in the '60's! Be on the lookout for the BDC's '59 Caddy Coupe De Ville coming to a bookstore near you soon!
