Thomas Graf non somiglia a nessuno che tu abbia incontrato. Pianista e anima irrequieta, sogna le persone che non ci sono più e parla con loro. Gira, anzi, corre come un pazzo su una moto dell'82, come se il mondo moderno non gli appartenesse. Fino a poco prima lavorava in un grande store di strumenti musicali, poi commette una leggerezza, perde il lavoro e non lo dice a nessuno. Soprattutto non…
THE GRAMMAR AND SPELLING NAZI They care nothing about story coherence, plot development, or character success. They believe that a novel's originality and richness of content have no importance, nor do dialogues and intriguing plot articulation. The Grammar and Spelling Nazi typically wrote just one book, many years ago, and hates every writer in the world based on that single misused article on…

Let's be clear - writing is beautiful,…

When the magnetic Cristiana Donovan hires him to find her sister Chelsey,…

As many of you know, I have expanded my thriller and noir production to the English-speaking market under the pen name Peter Gallo. Following the release of my novel Wide Shoulders, I am now presenting a sharp, high-tension short story that dives deep into the gritty atmosphere of the noir genre: "Winner Takes All". The…
...e per oggi intendo gli ultimi trent'anni. Sì perché, prima di allora, essere scrittori era un titolo di merito e si guadagnava il rispetto perpetuo. I commenti della gente erano sempre benevoli: sai, quello ha pubblicato un libro e adesso guadagna un mucchio di soldi; è stato quattro anni in Tibet e racconta il suo vissuto; avrei voluto sentirlo alla presentazione ma il palazzetto dello sport…
