SIDELIGHTS:
Joe Colantuoni told CA: "I always wanted to be writer. As a youth, I worked on short stories in the manner of Edgar Allan Poe and Rod Serling. Two years ago, I started documenting dreams and ‘visions.’ I wanted to leave a legacy for my family of what I really believed in and how I felt one's life should be lead. Both books are loosely based on real events which happened to me or people I have met.
"I want my books to touch people and make them examine how they are living their lives. The feedback that I am receiving seems to indicate that the books are affecting the readers positively. Readers are seeing themselves in my work. I believe that I have written books that have a universal appeal because they both speak to the human nature. I look forward to additional writing and meeting more people who have read my books."
