Raffa

-

In the prologue we meet Raffaella Di Gaetano, friend and mentor to Gift. The tone for the challenges our characters will face are laid out for us in the opening sequence. We see events from Raff's perspective as she discovers the first traces of malcontent and conspiracy theories in the colony.


A true Italian descended from Milan, Raff loves Italian food and music. Of course, her favorite drink is red wine. Not the most abundant in the small colony, they do keep the heritage alive with small crops of grapes and classic wine-making techniques. 


While not the true believer Gift is, Raff is optimistic and levelheaded in her outlook on life. Her curiosity leads her down the path of secret chat groups and back-alley meetings to discover that the life everyone thinks they are living may be based on lies.

Volume Two Progress

Book two of the trilogy is written and full of action and adventures not previously imaginable for our friends of New Europa. The story takes Gift and her companions into challenges and situations that will test their resolve and threaten the future of their colony and all of humanity.   The long editing process is well underway, with the final rewrites of key scenes completed. The tedious proofreading and error checking is being done presently and the latest volume should be available by end of November or early December.   I am super excited to release this soon.
