Dacquino to Address Students at Young Authors ConferenceMay 2, 2023 –
As It Was In the Beginning---
PRESENTER: VIN DACQUINO
Have you ever read the first page or paragraph of a novel or short story and refused to
continue reading? What stopped you? How do good writers hold their readers beyond the
first page? In this workshop we will rate various beginnings of great and not so great stories,
discuss techniques to capture readers, and then write some beginnings of our own with the
help of 5 of the most basic tools of writing.
Vin Dacquino hosts his own television show called “One On One with Vin Dacquino,” aired
on Comcast’s Channel 21, Mondays from 7:00 PM to 7:30 PM and has released a new
book with The History Press, April 1, 2019: Patriot Hero of the Hudson Valley. Mr. Dacquino

I met Frank Hickey, and get to know more about him each time we meet. He is a fascinating individual who has so many stories to tell. Besides talking several languages, having lived in different parts of the world and worked in several law enforcement agencies, he is very interesting to listen to and his background is such that you want to hear even more about him.
