VIC FORTEZA

Born in Brooklyn in1950 to Sicilian immigrants, I began writing in 1975, trying to make sense of the bittersweet mystery of life. I don't know that I've come to any intelligent conclusions, despite the manuscripts piled in my closet.
  I've been fortunate enough to have had 49 short stories and a one act play published in small press magazines. I have two novels and a story collection in print. Those stories are of the Twilight Zone/Hitchcock variety.
