| Gary Ponzo was born in Brooklyn, New York. He played football, basketball and baseball in high school, but writing was always his favorite pastime.
After high school he moved to Arizona where he still lives with his wife Jennifer and two children, Jessica and Kyle.
In the middle of a long and rewarding career in medical sales, Gary decided to pursue his ultimate goal: writing fiction for a living.
Since he began his literary crusade a decade ago his short stories have appeared in numerous magazines. Two of his stories have been nominated for the very prestigious Pushcart Prize.
Once he'd gained considerable experience writing short fiction, he turned to novels. He spent eighteen months researching, then five years perfecting his first novel, "A Touch of Deceit," in which FBI agent Nick Bracco turns to his Sicilian family members to help him track down the world's most dangerous terrorist, Kemel Kharrazi.
Gary is currently working on a sequel to the thriller.
