It makes me want to examine closer by creating characters to see and hear from a safer distance. Distance gives perspective. The writing down gives me perspective and I hope in this way my characters give insight into situations we all face.
With blogging and my poetry it is more about commenting on those same things as myself hoping others will comment back so I increase my knowledge.
Sounds confusing but the truth is I don't know how not to write.

I often miss the warmth and laughter and family overload that is being Italian. I would bask in all of that and absorb the lilt of the language and the divine aroma of the food.
However in saying that I have quite a few favourite authors and I would enter their world simply because of the incredible men they create lol.(less)

My apologies for the overuse of alliteration (no, not really).

Have you ever wondered what aliens might think about us? I realise that this is a difficult question because first you have to believe they are out there, and secondly you need to believe that there is some similarity in thinking and communication. However, just for the moment, let’s say/assume they are watching, and that their thinking processes are not so different from humans.

An easy book to read and love

The author has a way of creating beautifully defined characters who tug at the heartstring. There is no shying away from emotions and so it is easy for a reader to connect. This is a romance but also so much more.
