I am 44 years old. I am Italian from La Spezia, on the Gulf of Poets. I have been writing since I was thirteen and I have always been attracted to thriller and ghost stories, weird tales and noir novels. In October 2008, I published "Il gene dell'azzardo" (The gambling gene), a short autobiography about my gambling addiction in 2000-2006. There is now a second edition of this book titled "Il Giocatore - Il virus dell'azzardo". In 2010, I self-published my religious thriller about Jesus Christ, guessing who he really was (in my humble opinion). The e-book is available in the Kindle store as "Jesus: a hell of a secret". In October 2011, I wrote a series of weird tales and ghost stories. The title is "Lettere dal buio" (Darkness, come on in...) available on Amazon as well. Writing is my life, it makes me feel happy and complete. It dignifies me. When I write, I feel like I'm not alone.
