About Author

Albert Loftus is a playwright and novelist. Born in Albany, NY, he always dreamed of becoming a writer. He met his literary mentor, a flamboyant narcissistic editor and speech writer when he was 17. What started as interesting stories from his mentor, later became deadly stories.  His mentor advised him to move to New York City to explore the “underbelly of life.”  At 21 he headed to New York with a friend, and over the years explored Greenwich Village, jazz, the seedy side of gay life, fine art, house music, East Hampton and Paris — every adventure provided more stories.  He was a NYC taxicab driver, he managed a movie house on Broadway, he was a chauffeur to the rich and famous and eventually became General Manager of the largest limousine service in New York.  His fiction sometimes tells uncomfortable truths; ones that speak through drag queens, drugs, drifters and dreamers that live on the edge of society.
