Author Bio

Domenic Fiore Brunelli grew up in a Little Italy neighborhood of Philadelphia and was the first on either side of his family to attend and graduate from college. He worked for 37 years as a pre-sentence investigator for the judges of the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania. In that job, he investigated thousands of criminals, from misdemeanants to hired assassins. He followed his inquiries with nearly 3,000 long, narrative reports, but has branched out to creative writing since retirement. He is married with two adult children and now lives with his wife in a suburban community outside Philly. Dom enjoys working out and power-walking in his leisure time.
