Profile Information

Who I am:
I currently live in the south of Italy and write a Blog entitled "Pasta For One" (for which I have been contributing for the past 4 years), and I am now in the process of editing my first draft manuscript based on those writings. It is a narrative memoir and cultural observation that incorporates a dash of irony and humour with the sometimes harsh reality of being a foreigner in Italy - specifically a 30-something (although now 40-something) single female.
I am a recent member and hope to make contacts and learn more via this forum!
Connect with me online! My site, blog, or Twitter handle are:

Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to, and any scripts or plays I've authored:
