Sebastiana Randone

Biography

Sebastiana Randone lives in Melbourne, Australia, and is from a dance background. From an early age, Sebastiana developed a passion for reading, and from that moment has never been without a book.
The desire to write ‘one day’ had been pursuing for a long while. Finally that goal was realised with the debut release in March 2013 of “The House”- an adult fairy tale.
Having always been an avid reader of novels written in the 19th century, it naturally followed that her first book would be set in the Regency era. When devising the narrative for The House, Sebastiana drew on her fascination for the archetypal nature of fairy tales, mysticism and the concepts of reincarnation, past-life love and soul mates.

Smashwords Interview

What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I derive from writing many forms of gratification.
Being the possessor of an overactive imagination, writing serves as a refuge from the mundane, to the extent that after a session I always feel relaxed, therefore I view this activity as therapy.
I extract great satisfaction from observing the progress of the narrative and how the plot is unfolding, whilst channelling identities who are multi dimensional, thus surprising.
Then there is the joy of visiting new cities and landscapes that appeal to the gypsy within me. I love to paint images straight from my imagination, for there is the fiction. Make believe worlds that nourish theatrical instincts.
As characters become familiar, I find myself looking forward to visiting their world. So much so, that often, they remain with me away from the writing desk. Being surrounded by this cast of sympathetic, albeit eccentric souls, means that I am never lonely.
Ultimately, the greatest joy is the profound sense of achievement that this worthy past time affords me.
What are you working on next?
Working on novel “The other side”, set in late 1980's New York. A paranormal romance mystery based on vengeful ghosts.
A wall street ‘Ponzi’ scheme trader meets and falls for a contemporary dancer one night in peculiar circumstances. Whilst unknown to him, his life is being manipulated by the vindictive ghost of his dead wife.
The dancer has her own trials, perpetrated by the ghost of her embittered showgirl mother, who in pursuit, is also hell bent on causing problems.
His past catches up with him (largely orchestrated by the wife), and drives a wedge between the love match. Realizing that her daughter’s happiness is being sabotaged by this meddlesome wife, the dancer’s mother regrets her own part, and to make amends, akin to a game of chess, pre empts and circumvents the vindictive wife’s manoeuvres.
