Louis Romano
Born in The Bronx, NY in 1950, Romano hit the literary scene in 2010 at the age of 60. Having written raw, urban poetry since he was 18, he compiled his works into two books, and a new career was on its way. Drawing from the great response he received from those books, Anxiety's Nest and Anxiety's Cure, he followed up his newfound passion for writing with his stunning, gruesome, mob novel, Fish Farm. Following Fish Farm was the 5-time award-winning for best screenplay, and yet another mafia novel, BESA (Film 2019). After BESA, GAME OF PAWNS was released in 2016 and was considered for a Pulitzer Prize. He developed a second series with new characters, Detective Vic Gonnella, Raquel Ruiz, and serial killer John Deegan, and has been smashing down doors with his first hit thriller, INTERCESSION, since transferring his works to Vecchia Publishing. INTERCESSION was awarded an honor as a 2014 Foreword Review Mystery/Thriller finalist. The second book in the series, YOU THINK I'M DEAD followed, and is based on a true, unsolved murder. NBC-10 Philadelphia interviewed Mr. Romano about his findings while he was researching this book, and with their own forensic team concluded those facts should be further investigated by the Philadelphia Police. JUSTIFIED is the premiere sequel to INTERCESSION and was released March, 2017. To national acclaim, Mr. Romano's first book in his Teen/YA/Family series ZIP CODE just released March, 2017 also. ZIP CODE is marketed toward middle to high school students' curricula utilizing the discussion guide in the back of the book. Louis Romano's insistence on excellence is shown throughout his other business endeavors in the oil and healthcare industries. He carries this through into his literary career, researching and writing with accuracy to please even the most educated reader on the topic at hand, yet presenting it in such a way that casual readers find themselves easily engrossed as well. While passionate about writing, Romano is also known for his compassion, and fighting for the underdog. He sits on the board of Road-to-Recovery, a non-profit charity which assists victim-survivors of clergy sexual abuse. In 2016, he was named to the board of the Trafficking in America Task Force. He also "forces" himself to play golf a lot, most usually with a respectable score, and can be seen at many charitable golf outings. He enjoys spending time with his grandchildren, traveling, and hanging out with his dog, Rocco.
