Autorenporträt
Joe Farrell was born in Brooklyn and raised on the mean streets of Queens. He attended and graduated from Catholic schools in New York and went on to College at St. Vincent College where he graduated with a degree in Psychology. He studied Clinical Psychology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and Public Administration at Shippensburg University. He went on to an unusual 48 year career in State Government and two fortune 500 companies. He started in maximum security prison and ended his career at the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. His first book "Jesus Runs Away" is a memoir of his youth. A very humorous and poignant account of attending Catholic Schools in New York in the 60s when the world seemed to have gone mad. Since teaming up with Joe Farley they have written over a dozen history books. They are very proud of their work especially since the nuns told them they would never amount to anything.
