The Life and times of EM Bosso:

EM Bosso has always loved writing, so the story goes, but until recently his life went on a myriad of odd and strange directions. This may well account for his unique perceptions and ability to build characters that relate on an emotional level.

His first true writing endeavor, although loved and locally a success, caused much pain for his parents as they sat in the high school dean’s office trying to explain that underground newspapers are covered under the first amendment and that censorship should be frowned upon. Sadly, civil rights such as freedom of speech end at the High School doorway when you are only 17.

Undaunted, but really more focused on a budding baseball career, EM continued to practice his writing skills on any lovely lady that would accept his literary attention. For what greater purpose is the written language than to woo women?

The path from love letters to a full blown novel was wrought with false trails and roadblocks. His path took him from a shoulder injury that ended his baseball dreams to a varied number of unique but questionable jobs and of course marriage and children.

Where do his idea and beliefs come from? During his varied careers he has been a shoe salesman, nuts and bolts stacker, telephone company representative, computer system designer, youth minister, lobbyist for disabled Americans, business banker, VP for a large US bank, stock broker and an independent financial advisor. All of which built a knowledge base of human behavior and experience that becomes grist for believable and relatable characters.

If you ever sit down and have the opportunity to ask EM Bosso why he writes (strongly recommend you bring him a strong cup of coffee if you want him to like you) you’ll find the answer has little to do with money or sales. He’ll proudly tell you one of his greatest accomplishments came from his first novel SMAFU (Situation Married All F’d Up) when he received his first reader email. When a “fan” took the time to thank him for writing a book that quite possibly saved her marriage he knew the book was a success even if it never sold another copy.

His Novel FBoM (Foundation for the Betterment of Man) from the Eyes of Justice series is making waves and starting conversations. He deals with a topic as sensitive as rape in a very graphic and honest way. It’s brutal and in your face; it makes you feel the emotions and fears, the anger and shame, and hopefully make you talk and take action. When you finish a novel by EM Bosso, he hopes you were entertained, but more importantly… he hopes he has made a positive change in your life.
