About the author

I have always loved books. The feel of them, the smell, the covers... For this reason, I have always worked in publishing and started writing in the 80s. I have had several children's books published and I self-published my first novel for adults/young adults in 2013 under my new Patrician Press imprint. It is an historical novel set in Italy entitled 'Zaira'. I have since written two more novels, 'Clarisse' and 'Dorek'. Together they form a trilogy.

Patrician Press also publishes work by other authors, mainly fiction and poetry.
