Dr. Watson is a Sardinian self-published author and astrophysicist. Her love for fiction came from horror books, which inspired her to take pen and paper herself. Fond of medieval history, she began experimenting with fantasy and historical fiction, with length and points of view. Her bilingual status allows her to write for both Italian- and English-speaking audiences, bringing to a larger public the history and traditions of Sardinia.

Her favourite genres to write are historical fiction and fantasy, with a pinch of gothic horror, and all their possible crossovers, with particular attention to themes and plots which involve the Unknown, the great struggles and the human nature in any setting or time period.

I got inspired by reading a book about the Sartiglia of Oristano and the idea just stroke me out of the blue. It was a theme that I wanted to explore. Spring, water, death, rebirth... A little thing.(less)

Quotes by Dr. Watson  (?)

“I am the trees and the flowers you step on. Iam the earth you walk on, the water you drink, the animals you kill. I am the mountains and the never-ending sea. I am here and everywhere else, now and forever. I am Everything.”
Dr. Watson, When the Spring Comes

“«Non serve, non ho bisogno della vostra scorta, ho la mia che vale molto di più.» Timbora si volta e si rivolge verso la porta, per poi fermarsi e voltarsi di nuovo. «Rimpiangerete la scelta che avete fatto oggi. Sarete voi a supplicare una tregua quando la villa vi si rivolterà contro.»”
Dr. Watson, Storie di Sardegna - Epoca Giudicale

“His mind wanders to faraway lands, to the glimmering sea under the midday sun, to the cultivated vineyards ready for harvest, to lush forest covering the hills of his home. He sees the past, with his ancestors living this same life, sleeping under the same tree, running behind their own sweethearts, just like he does. He sees the future, the many sunsets to come, the olives he will eat and the wine he will drink, and Rosalia is always there, beside him, smiling to him, in his future.”
Dr. Watson, Song Among the Ruins

“It's hopeless," he went on. "We no longer have the learning of the ancients, the age of giants is past!"

"We are dwarfs," William admitted, "but dwarfs who stand on the shoulders of those giants, and small though we are, we sometimes manage to see farther on the horizon than they.”
Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

“When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes

“Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all.”
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“The feast lasted nine days, the last three becoming a continuous circle dance accompanied by songs and music. Noemi always stayed on the belvedere among the banquet remains. ... No, she didn't dance, she didn't laugh, but it was enough for her to see people enjoying themselves, because she too hoped to take part in the festival of life.”
Grazia Deledda, Reeds in the Wind

“...siamo proprio come le canne al vento, donna Ester mia. Ecco perché! Siamo canne, e la sorte è il vento.”
Grazia Deledda, Canne al vento
