‍ ‍Peter J. Marzano, the son of Irish and Italian immigrants, was born in New York City’s artistic neighborhood of Greenwich Village and grew up on Staten Island. After Staten Island Community College, he worked at NY Tel and completed a four-year trade union apprenticeship. He then began a career in sales, sales management, and project management with divisions of General Dynamics, United Technologies, and AT&T, and later as VP of Sales and Marketing for an industrial company in New England. His work spanned forty-five years, during which he traveled nationally and internationally for twenty-one of those years. In 1997, while with AT&T, he received a Master’s in Management from Cambridge College in Cambridge, MA.

Marzano, the father of four and grandfather of eleven, has been married to his high school sweetheart, Kathleen (Coyle), for over 50 years. When not writing, Peter enjoys family and wildlife photography, and playing cards and chess with grandchildren. He and his wife live in Connecticut.

Litany of Sorrows, Search and Deception, Taken from Carinhall, and The Black Sea Gambit are Peter Marzano’s highly acclaimed “Brian O’Sullivan” book series.
