About JoeEkaitis
|
Born in Pennsylvania in 1955 and now living in Southern California, Joe Ekaitis is the middle of seven children. His father William is a retired steelworker and his mother Frances retired from the founding staff of the library at California State University, San Bernardino.
Joe has been a radio personality (on college radio station KVCR-FM under the on-air name Jojo Scappezzi) and has appeared on TV (as a 6-foot tall singing raccoon on "The Gong Show" in 1977). These days, he monitors the operation of a million-dollar business communications system for a worldwide financial institution. His wife Cathy is the choir director at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Fontana, California and Joe is the choir's lead male vocalist. The rest of the time, he writes.
With the publication of his novel for young readers "Collinsfort Village" (available from Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com), Joe Ekaitis joins the list of American desk-jockey storytellers that includes the likes of L. Frank Baum, E. B. White, and Frank Stockton among its more august members.
Joe readily admits he's less august, but he's working on that.
