A once-a-month(ish) virtual sit-down with an author of a new release. Watch our 30(ish)-minute chat where get to know the author, their writing process, and their upcoming book. Then enjoy an excerpt from their recent release, available only for the month.
Dr. Mario Dell’Olio
Dr. Mario Dell’Olio is the author of three books; Coming About: Life in the Balance (2018) and Body and Soul (2019) were self-published, and his newest, New Men: Bonds of Brotherhood, will be released by 5310 Publishing on December 1, 2020.
Along with a love for writing, Mario is passionate about music. As chair of the music department and ethics teacher at an independent school for girls in Manhattan, Mario conducts the Concert and Chamber Choirs. He holds a Doctor of Sacred Music, a Master of Music in Vocal Performance, and a Master of Religious Education. Mario also pursued postgraduate work in Theology as a seminarian at the Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome, Italy.
“I wove those stories together and created characters that are a composite of [my classmates and me].… I really do believe that the spirit of the stories and the journey that each of these characters take is truth.
It may not be fact, but it’s truth.”
Mario is a joy—that’s certainly no secret! But is he a plotter or a pantser? Does he listen to music while he writes or enjoy silence? What book is he working on next? These aren’t secrets, either. We explored these topics and so many more during our virtual chat; have a watch and be prepared to laugh and to learn.
