Joe Perrone Jr. worked as a sportswriter for the Passaic-Clifton, NJ, Herald News, as well as a freelance advertising copywriter. He is the author of two novels: As the Twig is Bent, a mystery thriller, and Escaping Innocence (A Story of Awakening), a coming-of-age novel set in the turbulent ‘60s. In addition, he co-authored (with Manny Luftglass) Gone Fishin’ with Kids (How to Take Your Kid Fishing and Still be Friends) and recently published A “Real” Man’s Guide to Divorce (First, you bend over and…).


He was a professional fly-fishing guide in the Catskill Mountains of New York, and has had several fly-fishing short stories published in the Mid Atlantic Fly Fishing Guide. Mr. Perrone just completed a second mystery, a follow up to As the Twig is Bent, entitled Opening Day, which is set in Roscoe, NY, where he was a guide. It is the second in the Matt Davis Mystery Series. Look for it in early 2010.


Presently, Mr. Perrone lives in Western North Carolina with his wife, Becky, and the couple’s two cats, Callie and Cassie. All three of Joe's books are available in paperback and as Kindle Books from Amazon.com. The two novels are also available in large print. Gone Fishin' With Kids (How to Take Your Kid Fishing and Still be Friends) is published by Gone Fishin’ Enterprises in Annandale, NJ, and is also available on Amazon.com.
