    Intermezzo!

    Intermezzo!

    It is with great pleasure and excitement that I present Intermezzo, the Italian edition of my novel Zwischenshritte.

    Set in the French city of Dijon, the book tells a story of a chance encounter, untold passions, and decisions that alter lives. Through Brigitte and Christian, deeply human characters, and moments of extraordinary emotional intensity, Intermezzo explores the vulnerabilities and strengths that define who we are.

    And off I go!

    And off I go!

    My dear readers, this Wednesday I’m retreating for 5 weeks to my island of Brač to paddle on my SUP, taste the sea and eat some black gnocchi with seafood – but above all to research and write miraculous venetian stories about the female ancestors of my main character Sebastiano. What a challenge this will be!

    Discovery

    Discovery

    I made a heart-warming discovery recently. In a box in my cellar I found an unfinished novel I wrote when I was a teenager. Everything was still there, hand written: the three notebooks; a map of Great Britain ripped out of my school atlas; research notes; a list of characters; relevant historical events. I didn’t have to read the manuscript to know which book had inspired me to write it.

    My Church and I

    My Church and I

    This is one of the most beautiful views of Chiesa Madonna dell’Orto in Venice, sestiere Cannaregio. In my Venice-trilogy it is of great importance, not only because it is the favorite church of Elisabetta, the nòna of my main character Sebastiano, but because it is a scene of some fateful incidents in the first book. I, Elisabetta’s and Sebastiano’s creator, love it first and foremost for the painting – that is not there any more.
