Jarret Liotta

Jarret Liotta's lifelong love of writing is not only linked to his fascination with pencils, but an unquenchable desire to importunately impart opinions on everyone he meets. His first paid gig was covering the girl's high school swim team for the local paper at age 15, and he's never looked back (except to dwell in the past).

His articles, essays and stories have appeared in The New York Times, Arts & Living California, Boston Herald, Arizona Republic, Brill's Content, L.A. Times, Pasadena Star-News, and just about every newspaper and magazine in his native Connecticut.

A demure man by nature, he devotes his spare time to collecting vintage photographs of famous hula dancers. He's currently at work on his next novel, but can't remember the name of the file.
