Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?

I started writing in 1990 when I returned from a Pilgrimage to a small then Yugoslavian (now Bosnia-Hercegovina) village named Medjugorje where the Blessed Virgin Mary has been appearing to visionaries since June 1981. Because of the wonder I experienced there I was inspired and compelled to write about my miraculous experiences.

Set in New York’s Little Italy in the 1950’s, this character-driven drama is mysterious, sensual and driven by a female protagonist. It weaves lies with love, treachery with truth, and explores the ultimate meaning of moral fortitude, honesty, passion, and loyalty.
