In a few short words, I live in Rome, Italy, and I am the author of 27+ books in the very particular and unique genre of Erotic Romance with an Edge. I have been traveling the globe since age five and have no intention of quitting. After having been an avid reader all my life, I decided at age forty to write my own stories, the erotic romances with an edge I’m known for, and haven’t looked back since.
If you want more details, I was born in 1965 in Rome, Italy, but at the age of five my parents took me to Lagos, Nigeria, where I grew up free and hot like I’ve never been since. I loved it there, still think of it with nostalgia, also because it’s where I learned English.
After my African experience, I lived in Atlanta, GA, five teenage years attending Crestwood High School, where I started my writing career by publishing a short story, “Nostalgia”, on the Crestwood Journal. In college, I continued writing, only more as a journalist for the Emory University journal The Phoenix, publishing three articles: “The Peace Corps”, “WAMM, Women
Perhaps, the main reason I like this genre is that sex intrigues me not in itself, but in how it affects human and social relationships, inevitably changing them despite our beliefs to the contrary. After all, sex is the foundation of our society, the root of many prejudices and the basis of its dual nature. But sometimes individuals can’t relate to these conventions so I analyze and challenge them, indicating alternative lifestyles that people could pursue.
Today, I write both in Italian and English, mostly fiction of various genres, from dark fantasy erotica, to mysteries up to plain ordinary life stories. Among others, they include the Virtus Saga books, all eight of them, not to mention the Soulmate and ReScue Series, along with several horror novels and a few historical ones, too. eXtasy Books is one of my premier publishers specializing in erotic literature, but look for my work also on Romance Divine LLC.
