edit data

David J Antocci is a noted wordsmith, blogger and author. His work can be read regularly on the Worcester Telegram and Gazette website where he has spent many years writing about the trials and tribulations of being a real life Mr. Mom. While his first love is music, he has put down the guitar in recent years in order to pour his passion into writing… and the gentle tap of the keys on his laptop are much less disruptive late at night when the children are sleeping. The ESCAPE books are his first published foray into fiction. He lives in New England with his beautiful wife and children.

Quotes by David J. Antocci (?)

“Twisting her back, she saw that behind her was more than a sheer ledge. At the base, a cave went into the cliffside for a short distance of about five yards. The light reflecting off the water danced on the dark rock walls inside. She went back toward the small cave and stuck her head inside to examine it more closely. It was dark and damp, and very small. Without a good source of light, there was nothing much to see inside. Opening and closing her mouth a couple of times, she felt she could really use a toothbrush and a coffee.”
― David J. Antocci, A New Life

“her she saw only trees and darkness. Ahead, she saw the blackness of water as far as her eyes could focus. To her left, she spotted a cliff jutting out”

“Eric arrived, “Hey,” he said, “what’s going on here?” The two women were silent, and didn’t”
