Joe Gatto

I'm Joe Gatto, a 52 year-old writer and English teacher, originally from Columbus, Ohio. Nowadays, I live in Rayong, Thailand. I have a bachelor's degree in history from Ohio University, so I love reading & writing history books that read like novels and historical fiction. I've always been addicted to trivia and a "fun facts" fanatic. That's why I've put together a series of fun facts books for kids, “The Great Big Book of 'Whoa! Really?'," that's meant to inspire middle school students to become curious, life-long learners. I also like to write creative writing guides for my EFL students, as well as native speakers of English of all ages who want to learn to write fiction for fun. In addition, I've published self-help/personal development books for adults based on journaling and creative writing exercises that have helped me in life.
