Gary C. Mele, Jr.

The oldest of five siblings, my brothers and sisters and I had anything but a normal childhood. From moving over twenty times, to parents in the hoosegow, cartoons and our own bright imaginations were our only escapes from chaos.

I have loved to write since the second time I had to complete the first grade, and I always knew that someday I'd write a memoir of my crazy childhood.

Writing my memoir sparked an insatiable need to keep telling stories, and my next foray was into fiction (Ah! The freedom!), Sci-fi, actually.

I live in Redington Shores, Florida with my husband, Anthony, our pit bull, Stella (who is about as dangerous as a teacup poodle) and the real terror of the house, our cat, Moxie.

I’ve been writing for a long time.

I submitted my first short story to Highlights magazine in 1977.

I never got a reply.

In high school I wrote a lot of really bad poetry. Mercifully, I didn’t save any of it.

The first thing I ever had published was an essay in my college newspaper. The typesetter misspelled the word "sing" as "sign" in the last line and the whole thing made no sense whatsoever.

After graduation I got a job writing copy for a big advertising agency. I would have stayed there forever if I hadn’t gotten laid off on my twenty-fifth birthday. I grabbed a stapler and some sticky notes before I was escorted out of the building by a police officer.

I left college before graduating in a snowstorm of psychedelics and stimulants, before gravitating towards the underbelly of New Orleans. I lived a number of years saturated in Jameson and heroin, making my living stripping my way down Bourbon, searching for my next fix. As Hurricane Katrina approached, I did not even consider evacuating, and those 13 dark days following the storm eventually began my path to recovery. Clean for five years now, I write about addiction and recovery. I finally graduated from college, with a BA in Mass Communication and a minor in Journalism. I worked for a few small newspapers before landing a gig writing and curating news for RecoveryNowTV. That position opened up a lot of doors for me, and led me to partneri
