Giacomo and Slick
Giacomo Giammatteo is the author of gritty crime dramas about murder, mystery, and family. He also writes nonfiction books including the No Mistakes Careers series.
When Giacomo isn’t writing, he’s helping his wife take care of the animals on their sanctuary. At last count they had 40 animals—7 dogs, a horse, 6 cats, and 25 pigs.
Oh, and one crazy—and very large—wild boar, who takes walks with Giacomo every day and happens to also be his best buddy.

About the Author
If the readers enjoyed your book (and you hope they did) they may want to know a little about you. Not an autobiography, replete with birth certificate, but a tidbit of information, enough to sate their appetite, or at least whet it.

can also use this spot to thank your dead (or living) parents, etc., for putting up with you for so long. Or praise your spouse for his/her patience.

Come on, get with it. It takes only two minutes to dedicate a book to someone and it will mean so much to them.

Many books don’t contain dedications. Many do. So why put one in?
