About this author

Thank you for visiting. Since trying to be the mysterious, anonymous author is boring, it's time to step out into the Cyber World and say "Hello".

My name is Elizabeth Ann Bucchianeri, ("Book-ia-nair-ee" in case you were wondering how to pronounce that! Not too bad for someone who loves to read and write...) I was born in Carson City, Nevada (USA) and grew up in a historic town, Virginia City, made famous by it's gold and silver mines that built San Francisco, and was immortalized by Mark Twain in his book "Roughing It", and by the "Bonanza" TV series for those of you who remember that long-running Western. To say growing up in Virginia City was interesting is probably the understatement of 2012, but that's a story for another time.

“So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.”
E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly

“Falling in love is very real, but I used to shake my head when people talked about soul mates, poor deluded individuals grasping at some supernatural ideal not intended for mortals but sounded pretty in a poetry book. Then, we met, and everything changed, the cynic has become the converted, the sceptic, an ardent zealot.”
E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly

“Love, like everything else in life, should be a discovery, an adventure, and like most adventures, you don’t know you’re having one until you’re right in the middle of it.”
E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly
