Hello and welcome to my webpage. I write stories of science fiction, fantasy and also the thriller- suspense type. This page is designed to share my work with others as well as meet new friends.
I retired from the United States Navy in 2001 after twenty-three years of service. While continuing to write, I teach at Old Dominion University, Saint Leo University, and Tidewater Community college in Norfolk, Virginia.
I hope you'll join me as we explore works of these genres as well as just become good friends. I maintain several web pages, but the most "official" page is at www.tonyruggiero.com.
Anyway--here's to getting to know you:)
Take care,

Tony's Latest Release
Everyone thought the Team of Darkness operation finished, and the
vampires dead. Everyone but General Stone, who secretly proceeded
with two special vampires. Two young, innocent girls, who should have
spent their childhood playing with dolls and chasing boys. Instead, the
girls, now full-fledged vampires, are trained to be the perfect assassin,
ready to serve the General’s personal ambitions.
When Stone is murdered, a secret government organization sets out to
contain the project—their way. And just as he begins his teaching career,
John Reese is recalled to active duty to hunt down the two young vampires,
gone missing from the ‘training’ facility. But he must do it without
revealing his secret: the Team of Darkness vampires still live, and likely
freed the girls. If the secret gets out, his very freedom is at stake.
“...Operation: Save The Innocent is a bitingly good supernatural
thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.”

Nothing is as it appears. Nothing.
Your whole life you think you understand who and what you are, and then one day you learn that it is all a lie. So what do you do?
You have lunch with the leading candidate for President of the United States. You...and your alien friends.
The United Council for Developing Worlds, an alien conglomeration of civilized planets, wants to help the Earth move forward into space—or at least that is what the plan appears to be. The alien organization leader, Copolla, has decided the time is right to install two delegates from Earth onto the Council and to infiltrate the American political system to effect change. Yet, his leading initial contact agent Leumas senses something is wrong—that the Earth is not yet ready to be part of the prestigious organization. Forced to carry out Copolla’s plan, Leumas soon discovers that the two humans are not what they appear to be and that Copolla has something else in mind for the future of the planet Earth. The two humans, Greg Carlson and Sarah McClendon, get caught in the middle of the struggle for Earth domination and unknowingly hold the key which can topple Copolla’s tyrannical rule if their secret is discovered…that is if they live that long.
From the imagination of Tony Ruggiero, the author of the long awaited and soon to be released Declassified Files of the Team of Darkness series—comes classic space opera with a Stanley Kubrick twist.
Alien Revelation
Human and Alien Politics: Double Jeopardy.
In the sequel to Alien Deception, Greg is visited by a mysterious alien who claims to have the answers that he seeks—how to save the Earth from ultimate destruction by the approaching alien fleet led by the ruthless Copolla. However, the answer provided by the mysterious alien does not come without a very high price which Greg has no choice but to pay.
The long awaited test of the interstellar spacecraft, which was built with the secret assistance of the United Council for Developing Worlds is sabotaged. This in turn leads to the discovery of the council base on Earth, and also exposes the collusion of Edward Samuel, the President of the United States, with the alien organization. President Edward Samuel is charged with treason and the military has its nuclear weapons poised to strike the alien base unless they surrender.
Soren, the son of Greg and Sarah, has discovered his new talent—the ability to not only influence the thoughts of another person but to change them completely. If this power, or weapon, should fall into the wrong hands, it could change the balance of control in the galaxy forever. While the leaders of Earth’s countries await the decision of the alien organization, it becomes a race to see who can get to Soren first—his father whose mind is struggling to return from a galactic void, or the most feared and demented alien in the galaxy who has assumed the physical shape of someone very close to Soren.

Wow! This book has made my hope for the political process valid. I won't give away what it's about, but you can bet that having a 3rd party Presidential winner was a surprise and a foreshadowing of our current election.
I love Tony Ruggiero and his storytelling. He makes things easy and compelling to read. I'm starting on his sequels.
