As many of you have probably noticed by now, even if I try hard to keep my short stories “short“, I’m often unable to do it. It happened with the last one, Slightly Untuned, that reached 11.500 words. It happened with The Impertinent Masseuse, that reached almost 7.000 words, while In All Possible Ways reached 13.500 […]
Today I came across someone happily promoting his latest book posting the cover on a famous Facebook group. The book seemed printed, but I hope it wasn’t because in both the front and the back of the cover there were very, very bad grammar mistakes. “Too” had been used instead of “to”, “your” instead of […]
I wrote about choosing a title for your novel or collection some days ago, and I wanted to elaborate furthermore bringing an actual example to the discussion. It’s very difficult to find a suitable title for a collection. In those cases, I think the approach “A feeling” , described in the other post, is by […]
Apart from the ones suffering the so-said writer’s block (but you can get out of it, you know?), every writer I know is a bottomless well of ideas. A new sentence, a new ending, a new beginnig, a new character, a new character’s flaw, a new logo, a new song that your character may sing […]

I had a 2 years long break that lasted until the beginning of this year. I had all these wonderful stories inside me, and no time to write them. Or so I thougth. Truth is, I was finding excuses. Lack of inspiration. Lack of time. Children. Seeing friends. Then moving to a new city, then […]
It may be strange, but it’s a question I’ve been thinking of a lot, in the past days. What do I write? I need to understand, clearly, what I write about. Otherwise there is no way I can reach the readers’ heart. I write fiction, erotic fiction, that’s for sure. I write erotica, usually contemporary […]
This is fast, non-edited writing. My books, on the other hand, are professionally edited and proof read. 0
Travelling is one of the best things to do when you need new ideas, or even just to relax. And that’s why I’m in Italy right now. The beautiful lakes carved in the middle of the Alps are the best place to do so! Back soon! 0
Too many ideas and never enough time to dedicate to my passion. Sometimes it feels like my entire lifetime will not be enough to write all of them. Writing is a form of art, isn’t it? And like all arts, the more you learn the more you feel like you know nothing. That, until the […]
