Tony G. Rocco

Tony is a freelance technical writer and author of fiction, memoir, journalism and personal essays. He has a self-published eBook, No Regrets: Memoirs of a Punk, that recounts his salad days as a free-spirited punk rocker in the hedonic San Francisco of the 1970’s. His first novel, On the Steps of St. Dymphna, is an absurdist tale of modern-day alienation that will be published somehow, somewhere when it’s good and ready. Links to his essays, journalism and fiction can be found at his website.

Tony is hard at work on a proposal for a non-fiction work tentatively entitled, Burn the Boats: True Tales of Terror, Triumph and Transformation. This biographical thriller will chronicle the desperate lengths to which people go to reinvent their lives, escape their past and find fulfillment.

After living in Texas, Louisiana, New York, San Francisco and Oakland, CA, Tony now resides in sunny San Diego, where he plies his trade as a tech writer to fund a lavish lifestyle traveling to foreign lands, learning Spanish and hobnobbing with other literary wannabes.
