Augustus Cileone

I won the Dark Oak Mystery Contest sponsored by Oak Tree Press, which published my first novel, A Lesson in Murder, about homicides associated with a Philadelphia Quaker school with literary allusions. My second novel, Feast or Famine, a satire, deals with a traumatized man dealing with his Catholic Italian American upbringing in the 1960's and 1970's. I have been honored for my writing by Annual Art Affair, Hidden River Arts, the annual Writer’s Digest writing competition, The Philadelphia Writers’ Conference, the Montgomery County Community College’s Annual Writers’ Club Poetry and Fiction Contest, Filmmakers International Screenwriting Awards, and the Annual StoryPros International Screenplay Contest. Don Ron Books is also including one of my short stories in their collection entitled South Philly Fiction.
