Kevin Fabiano's Biography

kevin fabiano — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 02:27:18 GMT

I was born on Long Island‘s North Shore, a Manhattan suburb where most residents traveled via the Long Island Railroad to the city for work. I had a childhood filled with outdoor activities and friends. In the cold winter months, I enjoyed reading Hemingway and Twain. It made time between ski trips pass much faster.

After earning degrees in Political Science and Anthropology from the University of Florida, I thought I would be happy as an attorney. I graduated from the St. Thomas School of Law in Miami. I’m from the generation of F. Lee Bailey so criminal law, it was going to be it. I found, however, being an attorney was more a matter of going to meetings and counseling clients. Not the typical courtroom drama you can read about in my novels. I decided this wasn’t going to do it for me. Instead, I went back to my first love, writing.

I live in Northeast Pennsylvania with my wife Claudia, and my two children Cassandra and Kevin Jr. The serenity of our home provides the perfect setting which allows me to write. I am thankful to my family for providing me the needed support to fulfill a lifelong dream of writing.

Kevin Fabiano's Interests

My interests include water skiing and wakeboarding, reading (obviously, what writer wouldn't want to read?), and general outdoor activities. In the winter you will definitely find me on the ski slopes. In the summer, when I'm not traveling, I'll be caught out on our boat with my wife and two Chihuahua's catching the much sought after sun rays.

Favorite Authors:

Upton Sinclair for his inspiring message. Kurt Vonnegut for his hopeful message. And Kilgore Trout for his tenacity. With several thousand books and short stories on science fiction he only had a single fan. This didn’t stop him from writing. However, since he is a mythical figure I will say Vince Flynn because he is a fun fast read.

Favorite Books:

The Jungle was life changing.

Slaughterhouse Five a great look at how war affects people.

Timequake an interesting look at the future and what's important.

Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer both are childhood favorites.

The Catcher and the Rye another childhood favorite.

Paradise Lost very inspiring and uplifting.

To Kill A Mockingbird the only legal book I enjoyed.

The Agony and the Estacy I'm a big Michelangelo fan.

Old man and the Sea a must read for everyone, I believe one of Hemingway's best.

Favorite Music:

Classic Rock like Foghat, The Doors, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones etc..
Favorite Movies:
Scarface, Al Pacino's best movie; The Outsider's, loved the book and the movie was not a disappointment.

A Writer's Manual Interview With Kevin Fabiano

Tell us a bit about yourself. What would you like us to know about you?

I work as an attorney for a legal publishing company in New York, but my passion is writing novels. I find I spend more time researching than actually writing which surprises me.

What is your favourite food?

Italian

What is your favourite colour?

What is your favourite memory?

Skiing in Pila Italy with my kids.

What is your favourite article of clothing?

Jeans, Tee shirt and Flip flops

What is your favourite word?

Smy-Smy. A word I created and cannot stop using.

What is your favourite writers' quote and why?

“I aimed at the heart and I hit their stomach” From the Jungle by Upton Sinclair. I love this quote by one of my favorite authors because it makes you realize as a writer you may have one idea for your work, however, the reader my have a completely different idea. As a writer it keeps you guessing.

What is your most favourite quality about yourself?

Loyalty

What is the least favourite quality about yourself?

Forgiveness

If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would it be and why?

Iceland. I have always wanted to visit the country and I have not had the opportunity to do so. The people from what I have read are wonderful and have many unique qualities, such as the belief in fairies and mythical monsters.

What inspires you to write and why?

Perpetrate. Knowing what I have in print will hopefully remain the same forever.

What is your favourite book and why?

The Jungle. It was a life changing experience.

What is your favourite genre and why?

Legal suspense. I can relate to the characters.

List your three favourite authors (any genre) and why?

It’s hard to limit it to three. But I would say Upton Sinclair. For his inspiring message. Kurt Vonnegut for his hopeful message. And Kilgore Trout for his tenacity. With several thousand books and short stories on science fiction he only had a single fan. This didn’t stop him from writing. However, since he is a mythical figure I will say Vince Flynn because he is a fun fast read.

What do you think makes a writer successful?

Tenacity and love of the craft.

What is it that makes you successful as a writer?

Marketing and again tenacity. However, the best advise is to have a good business plan and follow it. Think outside the box when you think about marketing your books.

What are your goals as a writer?

To reach and inspire people.

What is the best tip you can give to fellow writers?

Write about what you believe in. don’t write to the market. If you have something of value to say and you craft it well the readers will find you.

What do you hope to provide your readers with through your writing?

A look at how the world is and how with a little it may become.

List your three favourite online writer-resource sites and why (include URLS).

booksjustbooks.com Good site to help market your book.
www.bookmarket.com Great marketing information.

www.writersmarket.com good cite to help sell your work.

If you have published a book, tell us about your publishing success (title, publishing date and company, where it is available to purcahse).

The Palace of Wisdom: A Rock and Roll Fable, PublishAmerica Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Books a Million and most online stores.

Poison: Unlocking Years of FDA Cover-Up, A look at how the world is and how with a little it may become.

How long did it take you to write your book(s)?

My first book took only 30 days to write the first draft. I had spent over a year and a half in researching the book so the writing when I was ready just flowed out. After this I took about 8 months doing rewrites. I hired a private editor to assist me and I was therefore able to control the timetable. My second book took me 7 months to write and about 6 months of research. The rewrites were much quicker on this project as I was awarded a good education on my first endeavor.

What would you do differently if you could repeat the same publishing experience?

I would have started a marketing campaign before the book’s release date. This is what I did with my second book and it appears to work much better.

What have you learned about the publishing world?

It’s all about the marketing and as a new writer that means it’s all about you marketing the book. You do not have the luxury to just write a book and then sit back and wait for the royalty checks to roll in. Think about creative ways to publicize your book and sales will grow.

This is your chance to 'Talk Back' to your readers. What would you like to say to them?

I want the readers to know how much I value the time they have invested in my work. With all the forms of entertainment we now have, television, computers, computer games, just to mention a few it’s a joy to know someone is willing to invest their time reading you book. I want to say thank you.

What's the one thing that you want them to know about your writing?

I take great care in checking the facts I place in my books. All the information, dates, locations, technology and historical figures are accurate. I do this because I know I am writing to an educated reading and I would never attempt to insult their intelligence by massaging the facts.
