Graduated in Modern Literature, has a past as a teacher of Italian and Latin in high schools. She gave up teaching to devote himself to historical research. He has published several novels.

ABSENT FATHER, HIS GODFATHER, THE GOSPEL OF HIS MASTER SATAN

Three stories. Three women protagonists who crave freedom. Antagonists three men incapable of fulfilling the role of father. Enrika, the protagonist of the first story, is a Danish woman who embarks on a love affair with James, an Italian man, married with children. When James will know Enrika expecting a child by her, the offer of money, while requesting an abortion and finally released from his life. Enrika will not give the vile and squalid proposal, give birth to the son of father-absent, choosing freedom.

Marianeve, star of the third story, is the victim of a father-master who forces her to an absurd and inexplicable segregation. After a series of long years characterized by suffering and denial of life, Marianeve, aided by a contemporary, will be able to fly for freedom.
Freedom, then, is the true star that unites the three stories. A freedom denied, coveted, reached after the crossing of the dark tunnel of pain. The book is also a complaint unconscionable machismo, violence and physical and / or psychological in many families to replace it with. In none of the three stories is the specified time when the events occur. Why Enrika, Santa and Marianeve are women of all time. Their stories are the stories of yesterday, today and tomorrow, unfortunately. The descriptions of the moods and environments in which the events are held long and detailed, but never boring. The three stories, in my opinion, there are those unforgettable, that steal my heart, but certainly not leave the reader unmoved, and led him continually to reflect. The author of the book is

Nails And Waxing Games



The Gospel of Satan is a title definitely embarrassing, and above all furviante. He would have respected that original El inquisidor or The Inquisitor, because this is a book centered on the figure of De Angelo Grasso, inquisitor general of Genoa, in the year 1597, Ext is in Rome by Pope Clement VIII, who has entrusted a mission of utmost importance: to retrieve the latest copy of the Necronomicon, a book that seems to have been forbidden dictated by the voice of the Devil and that is a threat to Christianity. To do so must be confessed, by hook or by crook, where the work is hidden dall'eretico Gianmaria Eros, the only one to know. The mission will prove to be not easy for De Grasso, who will sail to the New World and finds himself soon in front with unexpected obstacles, doubts and temptations. The interrogator will know the love and the pleasures of the flesh, will provide clarity about his past and discovers that the Devil has human form.
