2012-05-28 Grazie mille, Cora! I'm so glad you enjoy my stories in Italian. I've spoken with the translator who did my stories and I believe she captured the essence of the books very well. I speak some Italian, so I've looked at the books--good tranlations from what I can see.
As soon as I have info about Titanic Rhapsody being translated into Italian, I'll be sure to let you know!

2012-05-25 Thank you Jina :). I love this novel, I fell in love immediately. I really like the novels set in Japan. I read your books ("The blonde samurai" I know it by heart) in Italian. I confess that I am afraid of the translations, are often not consistent with the foreign texts. But my English is not perfect, then I prefer to read in Italian.
"Titanic Rhapsody" will published in Italy? I hope so...

2012-05-24 Cora, I just saw your comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed Blonde Samurai. Did you read it in Italian or English? Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about Japan or writing.
Your covers are gorgeous, very lush!

2012-05-12 I love your books. I just finished reading for the fourth time, "The blonde samurai." My dream is to create a cover for your book. Maybe one day it will be possible :).

2012-05-06 My hubby eats, sleeps, and absorbs all things TITANIC by osmosis!!!! If he's watched that movie once, he's watched it twenty (at least), and every documentary that has ever come across the History Channel, I saw the original when I was a little girl (on Christmas Day of all times) and it scared me to death. Then I saw the DiCaprio/Winslett version and swore all over again that I'll never go on a cruise!!!! The Posiden Adventure pretty well cinched that, though. Anyway, I'll have to get your book and let Mikey read it!! Nice to meet you.

2012-04-21 I finished 'Breaking the Rules' I loved how much descriptive detail you added into everything, it was done so well I felt like I could actually sense, see or smell or taste what was going on. I adore Elaine shes tastefully genuine even with her complexities she reminds me of me with a little OCD. I loved the humor I had a blast reading Breaking the Rules. :) I'm hoping to read your Titanic Rhapsody soon as well.
