Hello my fellow writers, what to say about me, my love for reading and curiosity about story  telling was  given to me by my maternal grandfather.

I started writing as a 14 year old when I had to read a book for an Italian literature class. The novel was the well-known classic of the Italian 19th centrury, Alessandro Manzoni, "The Betrothed" (in Italian, "I promessi sposi"). (You don't want to know what I did trust me!)

I love writing from Historical romances to RDI, time travel or fantasy, depends on the mood I am  in.  I  also write poetry and short stories. Furthermore, I wrote plays and for a few years I actively participated in the activities of the Italian theatre group of Melbourne "Il Bonsai".  

Currently I am working on a RDI and a book of Culture and Cuisine of Calabria the region of Italy where I am from.  I work as a Customer Service Operator during the day, and at night I teach Italian as a second language in my own private little school  La Dolce Vita .
