I’m the author of the ChangeMakers Books, a series of stand-alone novels for young adults. Each story explores humanity and our shared search for love, acceptance, and happiness.

I tackle topics I genuinely care about and present them in an engaging, respectful, and thought-provoking way. My books are for readers who want to see the world through new eyes and make a change in their lives and those of others.

I was born and raised in Italy. My novels are written in English and professionally edited by an American. Now living in beautiful Cambodia, I’m a passionate solo traveler.

As I journey through the world, I connect with people from all walks of life, and their stories become a part of me. When inspiration strikes, I know it will lead to t

“How do you explain a war?", he asks himself, "How can you try and make sense of something that doesn't make any sense?”
Maricla Pannocchia, Letters from Afghanistan

“My life has always been so easy. Everything here is so simple.
Problems are not really problems. I‟ve never felt cornered, hurt or threatened in my whole life. If someone would abuse me, or scare me, like a bully, I could always get the help of a parent or a teacher, or even the police.
I admire Basya so much.
I don‟t know how she can be so strong, then I realize she has no choice. The alternative is giving up, and she‟ll never give up.”

She could stop her education like her friend Silsila”

“How do you explain a war?", he asks himself, "How can you try and make sense of something that doesn't make any sense?”
Maricla Pannocchia, Letters from Afghanistan

“I feel like being run over by a train: how couldn't I see, or care? I have much more than I need when it comes to material things as well as opportunities. I can basically do everything I want. Sure, my parents can still tell me where to go or what to do, but they don‟t impose their views on me. They will never marry me off. They will never forbid me to go to school. They will always do their best to make sure I‟ll be happy, healthy and safe.
And what have I done to deserve all this?
Absolutely nothing.
It was a chance of luck, and that makes me responsible toward those who have not been as lucky as me.”
Maricla Pannocchia, Letters from Afghanistan

“I guess I was just a child and did my best to play, despite the worry and sorrow in my family. I remember the way Mama Jan used to put the burqa on, as it was really heavy, so heavy that she may collapse under its weight. And one day I asked her if she needed help because the burqa seemed to be very heavy. She looked at me with very sad eyes and murmured that yes, wearing it was very heavy. I didn’t understand the meaning of her words back then, but I do now.”
