Marzano is the son of an Irish-Italian family. After attending college and an apprenticeship at the NY Telephone Company, he saw his career in sales management project management. He partook in multiple companies during his career.
Subsequently, he had a dream that gave Peter Mazano the urge to write Litany of Sorrows. Believe it or not, the story Litany of Sorrows came from his dream.
Getting his call to writing, he began writing his book. Not long after, his Farrell friends and other fans began contacting him and asking for more!

The second book was up to him and his imagination due to this book not coming out of his dream.
"In the first book, I wrote most of the story and came up with the ending," Marzano said. "What was the big surprise was the dialogue. When the two characters were talking, I can hear them talking to each other while I'm writing."
Marzano additionally explained his writing process to the students, giving advice on idea creation, how to improve writing, and how to self-publish.
We thank Ms. Guerriero for her efforts in bring Peter Marzano to Farrell once more!
