About the author

33 books53 followersHi there Pixellites,
I’m a moderately-disturbed Brit. I’ve had seven books of non-fiction published with three different publishers under another name.
Luke I am Your Father is a humorous look at unplanned pregnancy, the main character in Gothic Girl 'goes goth' as a way to cope with pressures at home and school and Live Long and Prospero features a bunch of lunatics on a lighthouse facing automation. Rainbow is about a cow that can predict soccer scores and Gagfest UK is about stand-up comedy and a heckler who takes things too far. These books are not part of a series.
The Pixelloverse is currently expanding in a number of different and exciting directions. I've added parody self-help (The A-Z of Kids, Parts I & II), Biblical parody (Jesus: The Wilderness Years), a novel about Shakespeare, a school for geniuses (Smart School) and an ongoing series set in Roman-occupied Britain in AD 60, named after the hero, a would-be rebel without a toga: Keith Ramsbottom.
I love writing (and reading) but hate the self-promotion part of being a writer. I am painfully shy, don’t tweet and there are no pictures of me on the Net. I don’t even have a mobile phone (shock horror!). I do have a Facebook page (see www.facebook.com/scott.pixello).
I’m not a total hermit but for me, the words are the key things, not who produces them. I long to give up my day-job and write full time but for that I need to generate more sales online, which means readers, like you, need to spend some (but not much) of your hard-earned pocket money on Pixello products. I'm trying to write books that could not be written by anyone else. And maybe shouldn't be. I plan to release about three books a year until I run out of ideas, which sadly could be some time (I’ve got about 12 manuscripts at various stages of readiness). Watch the skies.

This book!!!!! The story line is hilarious! Imagine Leonardo transported to Florence of today, while being "handled" by the most incompetent yet sympathetic of characters, and friends. Leo's inquisitive and quixotic brilliance shines - as does Pixello's deft storytelling.
I loved this book for telling the story of Leonardo, while also sharing that of a young man whose life was somewhat adrift.
Florence comes alive, through Leonardo's eyes, and his friend, Marco's.
It is a thriller!
