Frank Michael Oliva is a Long Island-based attorney, law professor, and author whose debut novel, "Walking Among the Trees," explores philosophical themes of morality inspired by his formative experiences. His legal career and academic background inform his writing, which often grapples with ethical dilemmas and the complexities of human nature.
During his teenage years, Oliva worked as a receptionist at his local parish, where he formed a mentorship with a priest who had previously been an English teacher. Their discussions about good and evil profoundly influenced his perspective and later inspired his literary pursuits. Balancing his legal profession with writing, Oliva draws from his interdisciplinary expertise to craft thought-provoking narratives. Outside of his professional endeavors, he enjoys reading, gaming, and spending time with his wife and twin children.
