Award-winning author, F.W. Ricci refers to lifelong memories to inspire his words on paper. Born in Bath Beach, Brooklyn, NY, his childhood years attending PS 229, 163, and then New Ultrech High School, was everything a young man growing up in an Italian household could imagine. This street-wise kid grew up with dreams, big dreams.

Frank’s time at Via Appia Restaurant and Catering in Brooklyn, NY, inspired his best-seller “Catering to the Mob.” His dealings with his patrons taught him the value of truth and loyalty. And for those that did not toe-the-line, consequences.

With a degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Rutherford, New Jersey, Frank went on to the US Army Officer’s Candidate School in Fort Benning, GA. He completed his circle of skills with a Law degree from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, California.

It’s hard not to say that Frank W. Ricci is indeed a man of many talents. His stories reflect the best of his life experiences and tie you into his web of intrigue.
