Author Bio
Gerald Schoenewolf is a New York State licensed psychoanalyst, a former adjunct professor at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, an author of 30 books, an award-winning screenwriter and a filmmaker. He was born in Fredericksburg, Texas, a small town where everybody spoke German, and he came to New York at the age of 19. He has worked in New York ever since. His books include 14 works on psychology and psychoanalysis as well other nonfiction works; also nine novels and a book of poems and drawings. His book, "Jennifer and Her Selves," was a top paperback seller in its first edition by Dell. His screenplays have won first prize in film festivals in the USA and the UK, and have been in the finals of several other festivals. He produced and directed two of his screenplays, "Therapy," and "Brooklyn Nights." He published all his novels himself, including FREUD IN LOVE, LIZZIE (about Lizzie Borden) and LUNA, a imaginative and touching novel about a seventeen-year-old girl who rides into a Texas town with a dark mission. It is written in the second person, and readers are calling it a page-turner. His latest book, THE MASS KILLER: SIX CASE HISTORIES THAT TELL US WHY, was launched by Defiance Press on August 1, 2023.
