Ant Pellicano

Anthony "Ant" Pellicano is a storyteller driven by one central idea: people are more than their worst moments, and everyone deserves a second chance.

With over twenty years of experience working in physical security, Ant draws from a life spent observing people at their most vulnerable, volatile, and honest. Those real-world experiences shape his writing, giving it a grounded, authentic edge whether he’s exploring dark emotional journeys, redemption-driven fiction, or heartfelt stories for younger readers.

Ant writes across genres, from his own memoir, to introspective adult fiction about regret and reinvention to imaginative children’s stories and adventurous middle-grade tales. No matter the audience, his work focuses on human connection, resilience, and the choices that define who we become.

When he’s not writing, Ant enjoys spending time with family and friends and caring for his tortoise, Bowser. He publishes his work under Ant Pelican Publishing, creating stories meant to move, entertain, and stay with readers long after the final page.
