Frequently Asked Questions

What is your website about?

This website showcases my work as an author and serves as a space to connect with readers, share insights about my books, and explore the worlds I create.

How did the idea for the heroes and the world you created come about?

The idea came from my love of history, but also from the need to imagine what would happen "if...". My heroes are a mixture of real elements and hypotheses. The main characters are rooted in historical reality, but fantasy gives them new life and freedom.

How important are historical events in your books, and how much space do you leave for fantasy?

History is the framework, the foundation that gives depth and authenticity to the era in which my characters live. Without it, the stories would not have the same weight. However, I always leave enough room for imagination to create its own alternative reality.

Is there a character you feel closest to or who reflects aspects of yourself?

Yes, in every book there is at least one character who carries a part of me—my thoughts, my fears, my desires. Above all, it is Theophano, in whom I recognize my own anxieties, hopes, and visions. I love her, and I love the men in her life, each for different reasons—some for their strength, others for their flaws, their passions, or even their sins."

Where can I find your book?

My books are available on Amazon.

You can find the links on my homepage.

Research felt like opening doors to endless corridors. The hardest part, however, was balance: letting History guide the plot without imprisoning the imagination.

What difficulties did you encounter during the writing?

Describe the books in the series you are writing in six words.

History, love, hate, adventure, passion, magic!
