Move to Florida, see the world and... write fifteen novels? It may have started out as the typical retirement, but author Joe Corso decided to take a more adventurous route. After a successful, yet tearful, career as a fireman, Corso began writing as a way to fund the Ivy League educations of his grandchildren. He published his first book at 75, and since has written fifteen novels and nine short stories.

Joe shared his story on an online interview of how he began his writing career. When asked if he would have done anything differently as far as writing and publishing goes, his response was, "If I had to do it all over again I would have started half a century ago."
Joe hasn't just written one book, he's gone all out! He's shown drive and diligence that he's always seemed to live with, even in his younger years. Joe served in the United States Army before he became a firefighter with the FDNY. It's clear he strives to succeed and finish any task that he ventures on, and aage isn't getting in his way!
