J.A. Zecca is a performing arts critic and editorial journalist who has written for several New York LGBT nightlife publications, including the legendary Out Week Magazine. He lives on an exceptionally quiet and shady backstreet in Manhattan's notorious Chelsea district with far too many pets, which is a good thing, since after years of trashing around 'til dawn, he has matured into a compulsive recluse and has serious trouble going out without the company of genuine friends. His stories, many based on his passions for history and travel, are regularly featured in the online magazine Wilde Oats.
