edit data

E.A. Bucchianeri hails from the old Wild West, Virginia City, Nevada to be precise. A town made famous by its gold and silver mines, the Bonanza TV series, and Mark Twain who immortalized his experiences as a miner, journalist, and writer's blocked editor for the local paper in his autobiography "Roughing It". She later moved to Co. Tipperary Ireland, finished High School there at Loreto Academy and graduated from University College Cork. While classical music and musicology was her major, she loves to write. When not roughing through a case of writer's block, the author enjoys writing non-fiction. When the author is suffering that dreaded affliction, drowning in chocolate is the next best thing.

Bucchianeri currently lives in Fatima, Portug ...more

Guess what everyone?

Hi everyone!

Guess what? I've figured out how to publish on KINDLE - so what's now on Kindle?

My two novels of course!

"BRUSHSTROKES of a GADFLY" - a biting tale of art and love in the Big Apple.

and the sequel,

"VOCATION of a GADFLY" - creepy things happen here, things go bump in the night: if you want to jump straight into the scary stuff, this can be enjoyed as a stand-alone book.

E.A. Bucchianeri answered Roger Andrew's question: Dear E.A.B. I'm an Australian author from Perth. I've written a book called 'Forgive' which was initially sparked by an estrangement journey ... but later became much more than that. I came across a brilliant quote from you which I would like your blessing to include in the book. Could you please provide me with your email address so that I can explain more?

“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.”

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line.
