About the Author

J. Demetrio Nicolo has always had a burning desire to write but for years the scope of his experiences was limited to scientific oriented publications that were associated with his career in engineering. However, in 2004 he entered the literary world with the publication of his first work, a fictional novel titled the Silent Treatment. Since the publication of the Silent Treatment, he shifted his endeavors to a more personal biographical theme by writing about his father and how he interacted with him during his early childhood days through adulthood. Having a propensity for writing he expects to continue his lifelong ambition of writing other books that are both fictional and biographical in nature.
