My name is Tony Petracci. I'm a writer from New Jersey. Writing is not currently how I make my living, but it would be ideal. Regardless of whether or not that ambition ever comes to fruition, I have always written and I always will write. I suspect everyone has one thing they need to make them get out of bed in the morning, no matter how frustrating life becomes. Writing is what I need. I don't need writing that adheres to certain rules or is desperate to prove how literary it is. I need writing that is honest and interesting. That is what I try to write and that is what I hope my readers are looking for.
