About this author

Stefan Petrucha (born January 27, 1959) is an American writer for adults and young adults. He has written graphic novels in the The X-Files and Nancy Drew series, as well as science fiction and horror.
Born in the Bronx, he has spent time in the big city and the suburbs, and now lives in western Massachusetts with his wife, fellow writer Sarah Kinney, and their daughters. At times he has been a tech writer, an educational writer, a public relations writer and an editor for trade journals, but his preference is for fiction in all its forms.


A major revamp of this website is in the works, and I hope to be unveiling that soon.


Meanwhile, there are still spots open for my summer classes, Writing the Graphic Novel and Writing for a Living, both taught via the University of Massachusetts.… Read more

This is How You Lose Her
by Junot Díaz
read in February, 2013
It's very rare these days for me to find an author whose prose simply delights me. Diaz does that for me, certainly with Oscar, but just a tad less so here. On the down side, with the short story format, at times the same themes cropped up with littl...more

" This book has probably changed my life, in ways I haven't even noticed yet, though I've noticed a few so far.

I read first when I was too young to really understand what was happening, but I enjoyed it all the same.

As I've grown up, I've kept comi... " Read more of this review »

Stefan Petrucha is on page 560 of 1044 of Reamde: Enjoyed it for the most part, but had to stop and read other books for a writing project. May get back to it, may not. The idea of a game world influencing the real world is interesting, but seems to devolve into a straight thriller afterwards.

“It's toys, boy, all toys. You'll see more and more contraptions as you get older, but if I teach you anything, you'll learn that all of this is decoration. What counts is what's inside you and what you can see in others. ”
Stefan Petrucha, Ripper

“Because if I smashed anything, Team Jaiden would just get me into a behavior modification program, or maybe some doctor would put be on drugs for my ADD or bipolarism or depression or whatever they're calling being alive and feeling royally screwed these days.”
