A POWERFUL POLITICAL NOVEL RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES AND WRAPPED IN A LOVE STORY
Nick, posing as a graduate student at a local polytechnic institute, is assigned to build a case against a suspected terrorist.
Abdul, a brilliant engineering student, is suspected of building bombs for Hezbollah. Is he the villain or the victim?
The military man. Is he devious, incompetent, or the fall guy?
The beautiful but troubled art student with a tragic past.
Nick soon finds himself struggling to balance his passion for Gabrielle, his friendship with Abdul and his assignment.
At the center of a hornet's nest of political malfeasance and unbridled greed is a shadowy figure known only as "The Professor."
Nick finds himself drawn into a friendship with the charismatic young engineer, then falls hard for Abdul's adopted sister.
What should have been an open-and-shut case soon becomes a tangled mess in which something is rotten at the highest levels of government.
As the pressure increases in his personal life against a distant backdrop of geopolitical conflicts, Nick must decide whom to trust.
Tensions mount as an insidious intel boss whose sick ambitions threaten not only Nick and Gabrielle but the entire planet.
The Parisian Professor explores the roots of state-sanctioned corruption and the scourge of dictatorship.
Joseph Sciuto was born and raised in New York City where he spent his early years listening to his Italian-American grandmother’s vivid stories about how their family was responsible for building much of the impressive Manhattan skyline, including the Empire State Building. The rich flavor of her stories about their family’s heritage still works its way through his writing.
Sciuto holds degrees from both John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Stony Brook University and a certificate in film studies from New York University. After studying psychology, film, theater, literature, and English as an undergraduate, he relocated to Southern California to attend graduate school at Loyola Marymount University, where he studied writing and film.

...BABE RUTH
As the beloved, hard-working general manager of a Major League Baseball team in California, "Baseball Wizard" Joe Ciotola has given his life to the sport but lost too much in the bargain.
Joe meets Mia, a pitiful creature whose future has been written by the town's leaders, and who can't stay without making the ultimate sacrifice.
The choices Joe and Mia make together, and the bonds they create with another woman who emerges from Joe's past, shape their lives forever, revealing the power of connections formed from the ashes of great loss.
Joe is the successful screenwriter behind a series of blockbuster movies, but his personal life is in shambles. He hasn't had a date in over eighteen years, and his relationship with the daughter he raised by himself has gone off the rails.
Once a sweet and affectionate child, Sofia's personality changed dramatically in her early teens, and her increasingly explosive, irrational behavior has wreaked havoc on Joe's family back home in the Bronx.
Joe's grasp of what’s really important shifts from the make-believe world of the movies to the everlasting hope that we can all make a positive difference for those fighting just to live.
Hollywood. Vegas. Beverly Hills. A world of corrupt movie moguls, heartless kidnappers and girls sold into slavery by their own families.
When Nicole Tyler ditches her handlers in Las Vegas and sets out to avenge the death of her best friend, her bloody rampage threatens a powerful network of kidnappers who will stop at nothing to protect their own interests.
Bent on toppling their illegal enterprise and determined to save her sister from becoming its latest victim...
Joe Rossetti is a marketing guru, the very best in the business. His motto is: "It's okay if I know it's a lie, as long as my target audience believes the lie and buys the product."
It's a simple maxim to live by and he has made a lot money. But one night, standing at the bar at The Smoke House Restaurant located on the Los Angeles-Burbank border, he meets Nancy, a brilliant mathematician with the face of a goddess,
Like a bolt of unexpected lightning, Nancy challenges everything Joe thinks he believes.
A seismic shift in Hollywood's power structure occurred during the 1980s.
Gone were the moguls and founders of the motion picture industry -- Jack L. Warner, Louis B. Mayer, Carl Laemmle, Samuel Goldwyn, and Darryl Zanuck.
The studios were being taken over by technological giants such as Sony and Panasonic, and the new owners turned to lawyers and talent agents to run their newly obtained properties.
In 1982, an aspiring young screenwriter, Nick Caggiano, moves from the Bronx to Los Angeles, hoping to find work in the industry.
