title: Egmont Passage: Monkey Business
author:  Antonino Fabiano 
description: Antonino "Nino" Fabiano is a freelance writer, video photographer, television broadcast teacher, and retired Air Force colonel. An Air Force "brat," Nino was born in France, and lived in numerous places in the United States and Europe before his parents settled in Orlando, Florida. He is a graduate of Oak Ridge High School, and holds a BA in Radio/TV Communications from the University of Central Florida, and a MS in Management Science from Troy University. Following graduation from college, he was commissioned in the Air Force and became a Public Affairs Officer. His assignments took him to numerous places throughout the United States, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Of particular note was his assignment at the Pentagon where he served as a press officer for two Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Nino received accolades for his creative writing at an early age when he wrote a satirical essay about his mother's meatballs for a junior high assignment. His writing career has been rolling along ever since. In one way or another, Nino has tackled every possible form of writing, including poetry, corporate communications, crisis communications, feature stories, speeches, news releases, and a trilogy of young-adult adventure novels. His latest novel, Egmont Passage: Monkey Business, was released in July of 2011, and tackles the controversial topic of Thomas Jefferson's "separation of church and state." Schools or groups interested in having Nino as a guest speaker may contact him at tidaltales@aol.com. You can be sure he always has something to say. If you don't hear from him immediately, he's probably on his skiff, the Egmont Passage, fishing for another story-line, or hiking the mountains of northern New Mexico, exploring a new plot or two.
