Alex S. Avitabile wrote the Brooklyn tales of his Al and Mick Forte crime fiction series after retiring from practicing law for some 34 years, where much of his work was for clients involved in the development of affordable housing, in New York City and across the U.S.
Alex grew up and lived most of his life in what used to be referred to as Red Hook and South Brooklyn, in the sections thereof now known as Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill. He now lives nine months of each year in Bayside (Queens, NYC) and three months at the place he's owned over 20 years in Tamarac, Florida.
Alex and a writing partner just finished their manuscript for the Bill Withers' biography they've been working on the past five years and are actively searching for an agent or publisher.
Alex is currently working full steam ahead on his third Al and Mick Forte book.
