lived, he refused, and his agent did not support his decision. Bitterly disappointed but not discouraged, Maulucci continued writing short stories, achieving some success in literary magazines, and supporting himself by working as an arts stringer for The New Haven Register and doing radio adaptations of major literary works for CBC and National Public Radio. He produced a 20-episode version of The Brothers Karamazov and an 8-episode dramatization of Huckleberry Finn for The Spider's Web. He also taught English part-time in a yeshiva, a private high school for orthodox Jews. This experience was pivotal, and he decided to go to graduate school.
In 1989, Maulucci received his master's degree from Wesleyan University and turned to college teaching as a career, landing his first postion as an adjunct professor of English at the University of Hartford. That same year, Maulucci married a writer/actress. (They had two children and were divorced in 2003.) Maulucci then accepted a full-time position at Three Rivers Community College in Norwich, Connecticut, where he taught writing, literature and acting, and directed student productions of classical and contemporary plays. He has also taught at the Lyme Academy College of Art and Manchester Community College. In 1995, he launched Lorenzo Press with the publication of the novel he wrote for his master’s thesis at Wesleyan. Maulucci's son by a previous marriage, Dylan Maulucci, is a classically-trained musician who lives in L.A. and earns a living writing and orchestrating music for feature films. In addition to writing fiction, A. S. Maulucci is a poet and painter.
