I started to write at the age of eight in the attic of my Corsican grandmother's home in Pigalle, Paris, France. My father was in fact in prison at the time and it was my grandmother who gave me the passion for reading and writing stories. We are French from Corsica Island with some Italian blood. I got a degree in Film History at Ca' Foscari University, Venezia. I studied, worked, and spent time in Rome, Milan, London, Chicago, Paris, and Moscow. Now, I live near the Lagoon of Venezia.
