Joe Canzano has always been interested in stories about worlds more interesting than his own.

Throughout his school days, English was the only subject that didn't put him to sleep. He has a BA in English from Rutgers University.

Joe's short stories have been published in the following places: Akashic Books Online, Happy Magazine, The Chrysalis Reader, The Wisconsin Review, Studio One, Pearl, Schuylkill Valley Journal, and Quercus Review.

He has published four novels: Magno Girl, Sex Hell, Suzy Spitfire Kills Everybody, and Suzy Spitfire and the Snake Eyes of Venus.

Joe is also a songwriter and guitar player, and his stories and style are influenced as much by the Ramones and Lou Reed as they are by Kurt Vonnegut, Mark Twain, Laini Taylor, Elmore Leonard, and Tom Robbins.

Joe's hero is Wile E. Coyote because he keeps on trying, no matter how many times a big rock falls on his head.
