About

The son of Sicilian immigrants, I've lived in Brooklyn all my life except for the time I spent at Western Michigan University, from which I graduated in 1971. I've had 49 short stories published in small press magazines. I contribute articles to buzzle.com. I have three books in print, novels Close to the Edge, and Adjustments, and short story collection, A Hitch in Twilight, 20 Tales of Warped Imagination. I sell my books on the streets of Brooklyn.

I'm not going to get into specifics, but believe me, this book reads as a deeply personal recollection and almost painfully honest self-analysis of the storyteller's psyche. I write songs as a hobby, and even in that medium, I doubt that I could ever hang everything out there for people to &quot;see&quot; the way that this author does (in his very first book!)--But therein lies the fascination...almost to the point of being spellbinding. I'm now in the process of looking into Mr. Fortezza's shorter literary endeavors, and I'll be on the lookout for his next full-length title. Please do read this!
