Born in Sardinia, Italy, I was adopted with a sister. I am a Brooklyn, NY girl. I am happily married now 31 years with two amazing sons. My passion has always been history, although now and again I read a good mystery or science fiction. I am a published author of some short stories. Currently I am writing two novels-Romulus, Wolf who founded Rome, and For Rome;s Honor- both set in the early years of ancient Rome. My historical articles have appeared on Suite101, Helium.com, Touregypt.net and on my blog at My Italy.
