Camilla Trinchieri Teaching Workshop in Florence, Italy

As we wrote in an earlier post, November has come, and with it, author Camilla Trinchieri has hopped a trans-Atlantic flight to Rome, and taken the train to Florence where she was met by her dear friend and colleague, Dr. Bianchi of the Institute at Palazzo Rucellai.

Camilla will be teaching a couple of workshops on writing and translation at the Institute in downtown Florence.

Finding Alice to be Published in Italian as Cercando Alice, January 2010

Welcome! Ciao! Benvenuti! Ola! Marhaba! Huan Ying!

Thank you for stopping by at this rest stop on the internet highway. So much to look at, so much to find.

Camilla Trinchieri is an exciting and interesting author with 8 books to her name and essays and stories in several anthologies. She's published a fun mystery series The Trouble With , and now she's got a psychological thriller that's got a real grip.

Camilla is a great story teller, with tremendous heart and insight. Her multinational, multicultural upbringing gives a ready richness to her writing. She's got a keen eye also, honed in part through years in the film industry.

So if you have time, stop and take a look at her work, especially this latest book, The Price of Silence, which is a real page turner. It's like going for a roller coaster ride with some real gems along the way.
