Joseph D'Antoni

Award winning author, Joseph D’Antoni is also a true practicing forensic and economic expert having spent many years testifying in court cases throughout the world. His clients have included the FBI, Department of Justice and various Intelligence Agencies as well as some of the largest law firms in this country. He holds an undergraduate, masters and doctorate degree and has taught at three major universities. Performing technical analysis and writing legal reports were a regular part of his daily work for many years before exploring popular fiction writing. Inspired by actual case histories he successfully straddles two very different worlds of the courtroom and the suspenseful, fictional world of covert intelligence operatives. D’Antoni was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana and is now living in Southern California. His fictional writing started late in his forty plus year career as a forensic expert. His first book, Silent Sanction is about a main character Wade Hanna, who grew up in a difficult home environment in the depths of a Louisiana swamp to eventually become a covert intelligence agent. The author recently received the acclaimed Irwin Award for the Best Literary Series of 2015. Currently, his writing supplements an active career as a forensic economic expert. The beauty of having been in the forensic field for such a long time is he won’t run out of interesting stories for new novels anytime soon. In addition to being a writer in the spotlight he is also a highly acclaimed fine art photographer and artist. His acclaimed photography book, Louisiana Reflections is a beautiful example of his artistic accomplishments.
