Mannino's writing journey began when he was stranded on the Cornish coast at the supposed birthplace of King Arthur. The experience inspired The Scythe Wielder's Secret. He studied mythology, theatre, and literature both in the US and at Oxford. A former theatre teacher, he is a digital nomad currently residing in Malta with his wife and two inspiring children. He continues to write both fiction and nonfiction for children and adults. In addition, as a freelancer he is most known for his work with Business Insider where he has amassed over 4.5 million readers. Mannino is an expert at helping parents and kids connect better.
