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.

Description

<p><strong><em>Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?</em></strong></p><p>Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.</p><p>On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.</p><p><strong>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS</strong> a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.

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. An engaging read. <br />___________________________________________________<br /></font></font></span><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font face="Calibri">  <br /></font></span><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font face="Calibri"><em>Bloom's Desk</em> is an engrossing thriller to read.
