edit data

Born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, Thomas Cirignano moved to South Boston as a young man and took over his father's auto repair business. His decades running that shop in the heart of "Southie" would be described as surreal by most standards. Through pure luck, he survived numerous life threatening situations.
Tom authored three books. His most recent is titled "Memoirs of a South Boston Mechanic". Published in June of 2022, it is a new and updated version of his original 2009 autobiography which is titled, "The Constant Outsider: Memoirs of a South Boston Mechanic". While the 2022 version contains more photos, more descriptive writing, and updates covering the 13 year time span since the original memoir was written, both of his autobiograp Born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, Thomas Cirignano moved to South Boston as a young man and took over his father's auto repair business. His decades running that shop in the heart of "Southie" would be described as surreal by most standards. Through pure luck, he survived numerous life threatening situations.
Tom authored three books. His most recent is titled "Memoirs of a South Boston Mechanic". Published in June of 2022, it is a new and updated version of his original 2009 autobiography which is titled, "The Constant Outsider: Memoirs of a South Boston Mechanic". While the 2022 version contains more photos, more descriptive writing, and updates covering the 13 year time span since the original memoir was written, both of his autobiographies give readers a chilling look at what went on in South Boston during the 1970s and '80s. It was the era of mobster James "Whitey" Bulger's "reign of terror," as Tom calls it. Due to their time and place in Boston's tumultuous history, both memoirs are exciting narratives in their own right.
Tom also authored a fictional adaptation of his memoirs, titled, "67 Cents: Creation of a South Boston Killer". In "67 Cents" Tom answers the following question which had lurked in the back of his mind for years. "How might my life have evolved had I taken the alternate path to crime and violence which truly was available to me?" Within "67 Cents", the fictional character, "Nick", says "Yes" to each and every offer that was made to the author in real life by both the Irish and Italian Mobs. Those offers of easy money and criminal involvement were significant, including an actual offer to kill a man for Tom. After Nick says yes to such things, there's no turning back. "67 Cents: Creation of a South Boston Killer" is a gritty story with violence and very strong adult language. The author does not recommend "67 Cents" for younger or sensitive readers. Alternately, "Memoirs of a South Boston Mechanic" was written to be enjoyed by all age groups of readers.
Thomas Cirignano has been a contributing writer to newspapers and magazines, and served as an advisory member on The New Bedford Standard-Times Editorial Board. He served on The Freetown-Lakeville Regional School Committee, and various other town committees and commissions.
Tom is a certified scuba diver, ultra-light aircraft pilot, motorcycle enthusiast, and loves boating. Unfortunately, a previous spinal fracture, Scoliosis, and multiple surgeries have now limited his ability to enjoy most of those activities.
