I have always written: at seven I published my first article in a local newspaper, denouncing pollution in my city, and in secondary school I won several regional creative-writing competitions. Today I write novels and short stories, edit charity anthologies, work as an editor and proofreader, and write as a registered freelance journalist.
Details of my books and where to buy them are on the Books page. All my books are published in Italian.
