A.G. Cascone is actually TWO authors, and they are, in fact, a sister act -- Annette Cascone (right) and Gina Cascone (left) write together as A.G. Cascone. And as writers, most days they even share the same brain. That's funny really, since as children they found it difficult to share anything at all.Gina Cascone will admit to being the older of the two "twisted sisters", but she's says Annette is more neurotic. Annette will admit to being more neurotic, but explains that her psychoses come from growing up with Gina. Their youngest sister, Elise, just knows they are both nuts. Like many siblings, their childhood was fraught with rivalries and fond memories. Life experiences have given them tremendous talents, fabulous storytelling abilities, and a remarkable sense of humor. Gina started writing first. Her first novel, PAGAN BABIES and Other Catholic Memories was published in hardcover in 1983 by St. Martin's Press, and then again by Washington Square Press in 2004. After PAGAN BABIES, Gina published MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPER. A wife and mother learns lessons of life and love while questioning the affects of the corporate structure on today's family. Her latest work, LIFE AL DENTE: Laughter and Love in an Italian American Family, is a loving reminiscence of growing up Italian, and all that means. Annette lived in New York City supporting herself as a songwriter while attending the Lee Strasburg Institute's Actor's Studio. In 1986, Annette's song "LOVE ME RIGHT" hit the charts for Island Records' artist Millie Scott. Annette and Gina began working together in 1987. They worked on book proposals, and television and movie scripts. Their first published work was a parody on Cliff's Notes study guides called "JUMP OFF THE CLIFF NOTES". If you were ever been forced to read a long boring book that was written decades before your parents or even great-grandparents were born, you'll love this parody on study guides and the "classics". In 1988, their first film was produced. "MIRROR, MIRROR" starring Karen Black, Yvonne DeCarlo, and Rainbow Harvest. The story was solid enough to send "MIRROR, MIRROR" to cable. It had a strong video release, and it inspired a sequel, "MIRROR, MIRROR 2: Raven Dance", starring Roddy McDowell, and Sally Kellerman. Returning to books, Annette and Gina began writing thrillers for young adults and middle graders. "IN A CROOKED LITTLE HOUSE" was published in 1994 to glowing reviews. In December of 1995, Avon published "IF HE HOLLERS". A string of your adult thrillers, known as "Deadtime Stories" were the result of these first two successful collaborations. There are currently 17 Deadtime Stories.
