Jim Genzano has been writing books since he was a kid, side by side with his identical twin, Steven. No, they never switched places to prank people. Yes, Jim is the evil twin. He works in Philadelphia as an application developer and lives in New Jersey with his wife, Sarah; their two sons, Griffin and Xavier; and their dog, Lady. He still eats lots of pizza even though he’s lactose intolerant. He never learns from his mistakes.

“If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

“A safe fairyland is untrue to all worlds.”
