I’m a proud member of Novelists Inc., the only writers organization devoted exclusively to the needs of multi-published novelists. In April, 2012, we published our first-ever fiction anthology, Cast of Characters. More than a year in development, Cast of Characters is a huge volume of original fiction. Nearly five hundred pages long, it includes twenty-eight original stories, eleven of which are from New York Times bestselling authors. You can read more about it here.
I'm thrilled that my first-ever short story, Down Under, is included in the anthology, and I can't wait to hear what you think about it.

In September, 2008, I was invited by Queen's College's John D. Calandra Italian American Institute in New York to kick off their new season of "Writers Read." That evening, I discussed Unto the Daughters and read several passages from the book.
Our French publisher, Editions Michel Lafon, has just signed on to publish The Illumination. So has our new Hungarian publisher, Gold Book, which recently acquired translation rights for The Book of Names as well.
The Illumination, coming January 20, 2009, from St. Martin's Press from Brilliance Audio, will be published in Germany in December, 2008 by Rowohlt.
We are delighted to welcome Gold Book to our growing list of foreign publishers for The Book of Names.
Our thriller, THE ILLUMINATION, was published in January, 2009, by St. Martin's Press, and by Rowholt in Germany in December, 2008.
Natalie Landau, a museum curator with an expertise in Mesopotamian protective amulets and magical beliefs, has received a puzzling gift from her sister Dana--a necklace with a blue evil eye pendant on it. The Evil Eye is a symbol of protection common throughout the world, with a history connecting it to many religions.
St. Martin's Griffin imprint will publish the trade paperback edition of Unto the Daughters on July 8, 2008. Academicians and book clubs will especially appreciate the inclusion of Readers' Guide questions at the back of the book.
Aside from its nomination for a 2008 Michigan Notable Book Award, I am most proud that Unto the Daughters will be included in the first history of Michigan's Italians, currently being researched and written by an anthropologist with Italian and Michigan roots.
