What I do

I provide content related to food, travel, and cocktails, with a dash of modern Italian culture. Visit my blog posts for a sampling of my theme, focus and style.

What I write about

I have a passion for European travel, food and culture. The majority of my writing is focused on modern Italian culture mixed with classic or timeless traditions.

The main topics I cover include food, cocktails, places, and interviews. My writings typically incorporate historical content that relate to a culture’s modern life. I try to narrow a global perspective down to a local level with the intent to immerse the reader to understand and experience the local culture, both modern and timeless.

Many elements of my modern Italian culture focus is included in my debut novel The Love Fool. The story takes place in modern Rome, allowing the reader to experience the day to day culture of the city’s vibrant life. My second novel A Mistake Incomplete is a noir-inspired caper set in Milan. I’m currently booking events for my third novel The Taste of Datura (April 2024).
