NEW YORK, NEW YORK NOVEMBER 14, 2009:  Bryant Park Press, Inc. will host a book signing reception and fund raiser for native New Jersey writer Jeffrey Onorato, author of The SIN of Addison Hall. The event will also raise money for the Community Food Bank of New Jersey.  In addition to a percentage of all books sales at the event going to the Food Bank, attendees are being asked to bring a non-perishable food donation.  The event is November 17, 2009, from 6:00pm-8:30pm at The Napa Valley Grille in the Garden State Plaza (1146 Garden State Plaza Drive, Paramus, NJ 07652).

In 1968, at the age of 5, while growing up in Paramus Jeffrey Onorato used construction paper and Elmer's glue to create what he believes was the world's first graphic novel, “Feelings in Baseball”. During his high school years at Paramus High School and Bergen Catholic he tried to woo girls he liked by penning them haiku poems however his attempts were largely unsuccessful.
The seed for his debut novel, “The SIN of Addison Hall”, was planted in the fall of 1999. While in his twenties Mr. Onorato visited the gym religiously and one Sunday morning, as he pulled into his gym's packed parking lot, he noticed that the lot of the church next to his gym had more empty beer cans than cars. It occurred to him that toning his body was more important to him then nurturing his soul and obviously he was not alone. Seven years later, writing primarily in overpriced coffee houses and Irish pubs, Mr. Onorato finished a novel that warns of the dangers of carnality. The novel has been well received and can be purchased at www.blockislandbooks, Amazon.com, and through bookstores everywhere. From now until Dec. 24, 2009 a dollar from  every book purchased directly from the publisher’s website by New Jersey residents,  will go to the Food Bank.
