Inspiration for writing a book could come from anywhere. It might be something small and seemingly insignificant like observing someone at a park that sparks one’s imagination, it could be something deeper perhaps from a specific experience, or it could come from a combination of things. My inspiration for Buried Secrets and One Last Secret came largely from my family, my Italian upbringing, and my love of mysteries. Today, I’ll reveal who inspired some of my biggest characters. Poppy’s character (also known as Franco) was largely inspired by my own beloved grandfather whom we lovingly called Poppi. Choosing a slightly different spelling allowed me to separate the real person from…

Buried Secrets -The aftermath… Nothing has been the same since Ella Perri returned from Italy after she exposed her Uncle Luca’s biggest family secret. Her once close-knit family now avoids each other at all costs. No one can accept what Luca has done, least of all Ella. But she knows there’s more he’s not telling and she’ll do anything to uncover every dirty secret that’s left. But no one knows where Luca is or what he might do next. Ella’s deepest fear is not knowing for sure if Luca will set out to find Gianna or if it’s really Ella he’s after. The latest developments on Book 2: Secrets In…

It’s a good place to start! Why is Rebecka Jäger an exceptional Book Cover designer? When I first began to think about finding a book cover designer, I had no idea where to start. I Googled everything I could about cover designing and found several informative articles on Pinterest as well as on websites such as Joanna Penn’s, The Creative Penn. Her site had extensive information about book cover designing from hiring a designer to designing one yourself. I also gained a lot of insight from several articles on Jane Friedman’s site and I highly recommend each.  But with my full-time teaching job and other professional and personal commitments, there…

My upcoming novel Buried Secrets is almost ready! Writing Buried Secrets has been an exciting journey and an informative and interesting ride and I value all of the lessons I’ve learned along the way. I’m happy to share my story writing process and publishing experiences in future blogs. What started as a simple idea sparked from a course I took from The Write Practice called the 100 Day Book Challenge (I highly recommend to any aspiring author), Buried Secrets has evolved tremendously over the past two years. I first began this journey by coming up with a few ideas for stories and wrote a sentence for each one. Next, I…

Neil Gaiman created this quote, and I think it’s true. So many things go into writing a story. Over the last few months, several of my fellow writer friends and I came together and have worked diligently to write one book containing several short stories. This book eventually became Once Upon a Story: A Short Fiction Anthology, published TODAY on Amazon! This anthology also includes my recently published short stories, Luca and Monster. Working together with these writers on this anthology has been both a pleasure and a privilege and I can honestly say it’s a dream come true. Creating this anthology is kind of like a recipe: Begin with an…
