Print: $16.95 Download: $3.95 Ah, “The Sixties” – a brief phrase that conjures up all kinds of amazing images...unless, of course, you weren’t there! It was a time when “free love” was anything but, and there was a heavy price to be paid for messing with “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.” Find out what coming-of-age in that magical era was “really” like in the outrageously funny novel ESCAPING INNOCENCE (A Story of Awakening) by Joe Perrone Jr. Meet David Justin, an Italian-Catholic, height-challenged youth, desperately trying to escape the bonds of sexual repression and adolescent innocence that dare to hold him captive in – you guessed it – “The Sixties.” Experience them for the very first time, or relive them again and again, but either way, for heaven’s sake, don’t miss ESCAPING INNOCENCE.

Print: $16.95 Download: $3.95 Someone is killing women in the Chelsea district of Manhattan -- but, who? The only clues: a distinct signature heart carved into each victim's breast (inside are the initials "J.C." and those of the deceased); copies of the New Testament (with underlined passages referring to infidelity); and fingerprints of a juvenile arrested in the 1960s. Assigned to the case is Matt Davis, a plodding but effective NYPD homicide detective who is hopelessly addicted to fly fishing - and chocolate. Helping him is his one-quarter Mohawk Indian partner, Chris Freitag, to whom he owes a long-standing debt of gratitude. Complicating things is Rita Valdez, a female detective who's looking for "true love," and not too particular about where she finds it. "As the Twig is Bent" is an explosive thriller that rips the lid off the sordid underbelly of Internet chat rooms, and propels the reader on a no-holds-barred journey toward its bone-chilling conclusion.

KUDOS for "ESCAPING INNOCENCE" --
"Author Joe Perrone Jr. has written the definitive 'coming-of-age' novel, with hare-brained characters like those we all knew in our youth. Check your own 'innocence' at the door, and start reading ESCAPING INNOCENCE - you won't be able to put it down!"
--Rick Dawley, former Chief Operating Officer,
Superstand Entertainment Co., Houston,TX
PRAISE for "AS THE TWIG IS BENT"---"Characters with substance, crisp, authentic dialogue, and a plot with more twists and turns than a giant slalom. Kept me on the edge of my seat right up until the shocking ending. A GREAT READ!"
----Bob Walker, former CEO Promotion Mechanics, Inc., a division of Ogilvy & Mather Advertising, NYC
"ASIDE from having the most beautiful cover I have ever seen on a book, the story itself matches perfectly. As excellent a murder mystery as I have ever read, and I have read the greats!"
-----VAHAN GREGORY, noted playwright & sculptor, Beverly Hills, CA
