Lasting Photographs.

“Almost eighty years and an ocean separate John Ragnar, a pilot with a mysterious past, from the photographs he found in a box on the beach in Clearwater near a diver in coma. The desire to give a voice to the nude young woman portrayed in the Italian Riviera, will bring John in a journey of discovery of terrible times and the power of romance.” Yes, I did it, I wrote a novel.

Today I see the news in Italy, bad weather in Tuscany, mostly on Livorno. Six people dead. The problem was simple, 10 inches of rain in few hours during the night.  I look at the pictures and are similar to the damages caused by a category 4 hurricane in the USA that brought down 50 inches of rain! I look at the USA and I see people prepared to fight the adversities, included natural disasters at the level of a […]
