Marcus A. Nannini
Author Biography
Mr. Nannini began his journalism career when he published his own newspaper in the sixth grade and charged 25 cents per school quarter for the privilege of reading the only hand-written copy of each edition. The newspaper was a modest success.
During the 8th grade his English teacher took him aside and said while she very much enjoyed his writing, he included too many details and that by doing so it distracted from his otherwise good storytelling. He took that lesson to heart.
In the final month of his senior year in HS his English Comp teacher took him aside and told him that he already had developed a unique writing style and he should never let anyone try to change it.
During his undergraduate years he was a paid newspaper reporter and also worked three semesters as the research assistant to journalism professor Richard Stocks Carlson, Ph.D. Dr. Carlson pointed to his sole published work, The Benign Humorists, and warned Nannini not to make the mistake he had committed by writing a book directed at a more “educated” market. Dr. Carlson advised Nannini to keep writing as he does, as a journalist who seeks to appeal to the mass market reader. Marcus read Dr. Carlson’s book and immediately understood what he was saying.
Nannini is a life-long history buff with a particular interest in World War II and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He once discovered an error in his fifth-grade history book concerning the attack. Nannini’s continuing curiosity over several Japanese aerial photographs and the turtling of the U.S.S. Oklahoma lead him to write Chameleons, An Untold World War II Story, first as a screenplay followed by a full-length novel.
Nannini currently writes on a full-time basis. Look for more books from him in the near future along with articles he has composed for World War II History Magazine, Casemate Publishers UK-Blog and Military History Now Magazine.
Nannini's latest book is the sensational LEFT FOR DEAD AT NIJMEGEN, the True Story of an American Paratrooper in WW II. Casemate Publishers, 2019. https://chameleonsthebook.com/left-for-dead-at-nijmegen-reviews/
