Celebrating with friends and readers of my new book “Waking Isabella” was such a thrill! It was a chance, to get out from behind my computer, pop open a couple of bottles of prosecco, and share my love of living and traveling in Italy, which I express through my books. We had a great turnout, and I couldn’t be happier chatting about my characters, the art, and Arezzo.

The spirit of Santo Spirito — the neighborhood that I am a fan of and that plays a big part in the storyline of Waking Isabella — is alive and well here in California! I wore my blue and yellow colors proudly.

It gave me great pleasure to autograph books and write special messages to those who bought copies, which by the way are now available in hardback as well as paperback and epub versions. (The hardback copies are gorgeous and are now available on Amazon and Ingram!)

If you couldn’t be with us to celebrate both my novels, Dreaming Sophia and Waking Isabella, here is a snapshot of our day!

Sending out lots of love to all my readers! Stay tuned. My next book “Avenging Artemisia” is well underway and due out later this year!

The Matta Book Club returns this fall with a new n The Matta Book Club returns this fall with a new novel!! 

More details and the big reveal of the title and the author and details how to sign up for the book club will come next week in a post on the StudentessaMatta.com website... so stay tuned. 

Currently, I'm still in Italy wrapping up a very successful language program in Arezzo! We had a wonderful time!

Now I'm at the beach and currently finishing up the next book club read! LOL

What I can tell you about the novel is that it is a contemporary adventure/murder mystery set in Italy, that takes you from Monte Carlo to London and to France where two thieves board the Orient Express to Venice as they track down Casanova's diary. 

Next week you will have the chance to sign up for group book club meetings of up to 3 or 4 readers, or individual sessions. The novel is available in print and audio and it is my recommendation, with plenty of lead time to read the novel during the summer months prior to the October start date, so that we can really dive into the story, and plot, and work on grammar and idioms.

Stay tuned! State sintonizzati! A presto!
