Today I'm featured on Women Writer's Women's Books

Today I'm featured on Women Writer's Women's Books online journal in a guest post I wrote: Thoughts on Writing and the Creative Process: How I am inspired by Italy and its Inspiring Women.

In this post — I explain my passion for Italy and why I write about Italy and famous Italian women like Sofonisba Anguissola, Artemisia Gentileschi, Isabella de’ Medici, and Sophia Loren. I also explain what I’ve been up to lately — teaching Italian, my Italian immersion programs, why I started an Italian book club, and the opportunity to interview Silvia Zucca (her book has been adapted into the hit Italian Netflix show). I talk little bit about why I write and my creative writing philosophy. I also talk about where the ideas for my past books came from and that I’m in search of my next Italian heroine for my next book.
