John SalzoneJohn Salzone grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. His father was one of eight and he was lucky enough to have both sets of grandparents living next door, as well as two sets of aunts, uncles, and cousins living on the same block. Growing up he had twent-four cousins and his fondest memories are of family gatherings and vacations when everyone would be together, talking in a combination of English and Italian. Parts of An Offer He Can't Refuse come from the memories of his childhood and growing up Italian. John has worked in publishing as an editor, published a number of New York Times bestselling authors, and written a variety of adult and young adult novels under the names John Hall (Homecoming Queen; Killer Christmas; Is He or Isn't He?), Sabrina James (Secret Santa; Party Girl) and Jennifer Hall (Star Quality). He's also the author of A Christmas He Can't Refuse, Book 2 in the Boyfriend Game series. Read More Read Less
