Meet Joseph Sciuto

The quintessential New Yorker turned sun-loving Angelino...

Joseph Sciuto was born and raised in New York City where he spent his early years listening to his Italian-American grandmother’s vivid stories about how their family was responsible for building much of the impressive Manhattan skyline, including the Empire State Building.

The rich flavor of her stories about their family’s heritage still works its way through his writing.

Sciuto holds degrees from both John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Stony Brook University and a certificate in film studies from New York University.

After studying psychology, film, theater, literature, and English as an undergraduate, he relocated to Southern California to attend graduate school at Loyola Marymount University, where he studied writing and film.

Married for over 30 years to Hollywood studio veteran and novelist, Melissa J. L. Smith, the couple currently is collaborating on their first book together, "My Grandmother's Apron." In addition to writing, the couple spends time spoiling their cats, Bogie and Bette.
