George Curcio lives in DeLand, Florida, with his wife, three cats, two dogs and bird.

George has been involved in writing and editing all of his adult life, actually starting when he was a teenager working for a local newspaper.

George retired from full-time employment after surviving a massive stroke in 2007. Now fully recovered, his recuperation was long and challenging. Having made it through, George is ready to devote attention to his lifelong hobby and love of writing.

George's initial book, "The Road to New Hope," is a fictional novel in which he addresses (and tries to answer) some of the questions he has asked throughout his lifetime. At the least, he hopes to make the reader think in ways that are new and revealing, especially to one's self.
