C. Boccaccio's love of crime was spawned as a result of growing up in a criminal family. His grandfather was a serial killer in Philadelphia, while his charismatic father was a serial Police Impersonator who longed to follow in his father's footsteps. Due to this influence and a degree in psychology, Boccaccio was on the road to becoming an FBI agent, but fate had other plans for him. While writing his first novel, RIDING THE LIGHTNING, he solicited the advice of FBI agents from the Los Angeles bureau, who began passing around chapters of the book while on surveillance. The agents claimed that the work was the darkest and most accurate portrayal of a serial killer in print. They talked him out of going into the FBI because the bureau wouldn't allow him to continue writing – and the agents were pretty certain he wouldn't pass the background check. Boccaccio is an award-winning TV and Screenwriter, whose focus is crime. Boccaccio has written and created Original Programming for ShowTime, Court TV, A&E, TRU TV, TLC, National Geographic Channel, PBS, Fox Reality, UPN, and Discovery. His first Original TV Pilot, a crime drama set in Miami, won a Scriptapalooza TV Writing Award. He was a senior writer on Untold Stories of the ER. He has written several original crime pilots for ShowTime and NBC. He ghostwrote NARC 2 based on the critically-acclaimed original starring Jason Patric and Ray Liotta. As an author, Boccaccio has penned four crime novels and a cook book based on the bios of the world's most salacious serial killers. Boccaccio spent six years in Miami, but hails from Boston Massachusetts and currently lives under the Hollywood Sign.
