About

I have always been a writer
whether it was in school or
at work.  It has only been in
the last few years that
I have run out of excuses for not
throwing myself into my writing. 
My first novel, Bloom's Desk,
was published in April,
and I am currently working on another. 

I look forward to bringing readers my
slightly-twisted view of reality for a long time.

Story Behind The Book

As most readers have noticed, my life shares some distinct similarities with that of my main character Glen. This definitely doesn't please my Korean wife Gye Yeol. However, as I keep assuring her, I simply ignore any voices that I hear inside my head.

In his surprisingly riveting tale, author Jeffrey Littorno takes the reader on a twisted, disturbing ride through the darkest recesses of the human psyche. As he makes his long, tortuous descent into near-madness, readers are sure to find themselves equally compelled regarding the ultimate fate of Glen’s vicious internal battle. As such, Littorno succeeds in drawing you in to a well-crafted, suspense-filled story - complete with a notable ending you may or may not have seen coming.
