In 1968, at the age of 5, Jeffrey Onorato used construction paper and Elmer's glue to create what he believes was the world's first graphic novel, “Feelings in Baseball”. During his high school years he tried to woo girls he liked by penning them haiku poems however they were awful his attempts were largely unsuccessful. In 1982 while attending Lehigh University, Mr. Onorato wrote an award winning essay, "The Rapes of Grath" and followed it up in 1984 with another award winning essay, “Baseball is an Ass”. The seed for his debut novel, “The Sin of Addison Hall”, was planted in the fall of 1999 after a sobering visit to Auschwitz. Seven years later, writing primarily in overpriced coffee houses and Irish pubs, Mr. Onorato finished a novel that warns of the dangers of carnality. Mr. Onorato lives in Westchester County, NY with his wife and two young children.
