ABOUT THE AUTHOR
With over 30 years of working in the public health care system, Caesar Rondina has interacted with thousands of people from different walks of life. Running a range of cultures, races, and creeds. Oftentimes, these encounters were amplified by the intensity of a life-or-death medical situation. Together, Caesar Rondina’s real-life experiences have provided insight into the world we live in and how we choose to live in it. Caesar's writing is shaped by his experiences as a paramedic, educator, retired career firefighter, and public speaker. During his pre-hospital medical career, Caesar Rondina provided medical care to over 76,000 patients. Listening to over 76,000 stories and witnessed tragic events as well as happy experiences. His writings guide self-improvement, self-empowerment, education, awareness, and enjoyment. Boating is Caesar's main hobby, and he holds a United States Coast Guard Master Captains license and has captained yachts up to 130' in length, as well as belonging to the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Caesar Rondina is a multi-genre writer whose work includes love stories, self-help books, non-fiction narratives, murder mysteries, and crime series. Sometimes combining a little of each in one book. Caesar also created The Author's Pen Blog. Caesar's writing style feels comfortable and familiar. It feels like just the two of you sitting in a room, having a conversation. Caesar Rondina was born and raised in New England and now resides in Florida. He continues to write books and speak at various events and book clubs; he publishes his weekly blog, The Author's Pen Blog, directly to his subscribers and on all his social media sites every Wednesday at 1 PM EST. Occasionally, when time permits, he produces a video blog post.
Caesar states, "Fancy words are for technical writing. I believe my readers need to read my words and relate to the vocabulary they hear daily. While reading my books, my readers will never have to Google the meaning of any word they don't know. I have a unique way of ensuring my readers know the meaning of any term I use. That eliminates the need for them to look up a word they do not understand, which takes away from the experience of the moment."
As Caesar Rondina demonstrates, the more we learn about ourselves and our weaknesses, the more we can understand them, learn how to overcome them, and turn them into strengths. Caesar continues to publish medical educational material and video tutorials on various topics on the Udemy.com online learning platform. Caesar Rondina is a motivational and inspirational public speaker and spokesperson. Caesar often speaks at book clubs, schools, and company events. Caesar Rondina believes in our youth, veterans, and senior citizens. One of his passions is taking a strong stand against female abuse and domestic violence.

Caesar Rondina is a contributing writer on many writing forums.
Caesar states, "I love to speak at schools and interact with our youth and community. Not only can they learn from us, but we can also learn much from them. Our seniors and veterans are the 14-karat gold of our society. Their life experiences have helped them evolve, grow, and pass their knowledge on to others. Everyone can learn from them."
Caesar Rondina was born and raised in Connecticut, and now resides in Florida. Caesar is now single and has three children and three grandchildren. As an author, businessman, educator, paramedic, firefighter, master boat captain, and father, he always says, "If I haven't seen it, it probably hasn't happened yet." Caesar attended the University of Bridgeport, where he studied Education, and the University of New Haven, where he took courses in Business Management. Caesar Rondina has completed advanced studies in electronics from The Cleveland Institute of Electronics, numerous American Heart Association pre-hospital medical courses and teaching certifications, and boating courses from Sea School and the U.S.C.G. He holds a valid United States Coast Guard Master Captain’s license and a National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers First Class Master RF Technician certification and teaching certification. Caesar Rondina owned an electronics chain for 17 years before becoming a career firefighter and paramedic.
Caesar Rondina believes, "There should be a personal connection between myself and my readers. They should be able to see inside my soul. My goal is to create that relationship through my writing style. You will always see a part of me in every book I write."
Every reader looks for something different in a book. Perception lives through the eyes of those who perceive. Oftentimes, that will be different for each person.
Caesar explains, "I'm no different from anyone else. I've had failures, shortcomings, setbacks, and successes. I've learned something about myself and people through each experience. I am not afraid to share any experience with my readers. No one makes it through life alone. The trick is to learn from your mistakes and not make the same ones again. Trust me, you'll make others along the way. During my medical and firefighting career, I have had over 13 work-related surgeries as a result of work-related injuries. I was involved in a fire service accident so catastrophic it made national headlines. As a result of this accident, some laws regarding how emergency vehicles respond to calls were changed nationwide. A small price to pay if it saves one first responder's life.
Twice I was told I could never do the work I loved again. Oftentimes, what you are told you can't do gives you the strength and tenacity to prove what you can do. My career did not end. To understand me, one must know me and what I have experienced. I have often said, if I haven't seen it, it's only because it hasn't happened yet. I have brought life into this world. I have lost life as it slipped from my hands. However, I have saved many. I have had to inform too many families that God has taken someone they loved from them. However, I also delivered 13 babies during my career. We learn through God that death is as much a part of life as birth. However, living is paramount. You either learn to survive this, or it will consume you to the point of self-destruction."
Caesar Rondina's validation comes from his life experiences, education, successes, and failures. You are invited to browse this site. View photos of what Caesar enjoys. Watch a book trailer, or preview a book. Get to know Caesar because, as he states,
"Never doubt that writing is a personal experience between the writer and a reader. It's always personal. You only fail at something if you don't give it 100%. If you tried your best, you didn't fail; you just didn't succeed. There is a difference."
