Welcome, I write historical fiction, and conspiracy thrillers set in the art world, which have been published worldwide in many languages. I like to give my readers a new slant on a famous painter, ie. Caravaggio, and tell his story alongside the machinations of the 21st century art world. I am very passionate about art and history. Especially historical intrigue, corruption, and uncovering the past. My next trilogy is set in the Medieval Ages and covers new - and explosive - ground. It tells the story of the rivalry between the church and the nobility, set against the brutality of the dark ages. This trilogy is wide sweeping, with a cast list of characters spanning sixty years. All of them are involved, or caught up, in blood-thirsty politics and wars. This is the most ambitious series I have written, and it promises to be eye opening. The last book of my trilogy about THE BORGIAS was published in July 2022. Taking a different slant, I'm investigating the corruption and depravity at that time in Rome - not just outside the family, but inside as well. In its true that the BORGIAS were seeped in decadence, greed, simony and sexual excess - yet their contemporaries were also villains when it suited them. The likes of Cardinal della Rovere, Savonarola, Machiavelli and Leonardo da Vinci, who became a military advisor to Cesare Borgia. TEMPESTA MALEDETTA was published 23rd July 2020 - Launched in Rome by Newton Compton. The theft of Giorgione's painting, 'The Tempest', unites London, Venice and New York - brought to their knees by the coronavirus - with the Venice of the 16th century, devastated by plague. September 2020 HEAD OF ZEUS, London, published THE WOLVES OF VENICE Book Two and Book Three of THE WOLVES OF VENICE trilogy were published in 2020 and 2021. TEMPESTA MALEDETTA 'Formidable.
