Born and raised in Verona (Italy), I've always lived to surround myself with books, so it may be a sort of karma that I ended up being a bookseller and an indie author. A fantasy reader since a kid, a Tolkien nerd almost as long, I've always being fascinated with history and old black-and-white mystery films, which may or may not have had a way in my involvement in the dieselpunk community. "Ghosts Through the Cracks" is my first publish novella. I'm currently working at more historical fantasy stories set in the 1920s. ...more

I have to say, very honestly, that this was not an easy story to read (and, I'm sure, it wasn't easy to write either).
