Mark Tedesco
Mark Tedesco is a published author and history teacher in Los Angeles. He was born in California but lived for many years in Europe. There he developed a unique perspective which is apparent in his teaching and writing.
His first book That Undeniable Longing – My Road to and from the Priesthood is a memoir of his sojourn in Rome in a Vatican seminary leading to ordination. Readers have been taken aback by his honesty and integrity in recounting his journey. His account continues as he eventually decided to leave the priesthood in order to be “true to himself”.
His second book is Loving Hoping Believing - Poetry to Live By. Poetry comes alive here as the words express the love possible between two persons, the joy of being united, the anguish of loss and the hope of fulfillment.
Mark’s third book is a work of historical fiction on the forth century soldiers John and Paul. Mark enjoys drawing the reader into the historical genre especially of the ancient world. I am John, I am Paul: A Story of Two Soldiers in Ancient Rome is a true story and the product of eight years of research.
Recently released, Tedesco’s Lessons and Beliefs: Searching for Love in the Gay World as a self-help book written in the form of a memoir, encouraging the reader to reflect on the meaning of his/her relationship experiences.
Besides writing, Mark’s passions run the gamut from archeology to sports and fitness. His colleagues consider to him to be somewhat of a Renaissance man.
