Podestaria's first book ends with this promise: I bet you're as much curious as Virginia to know what this question will be. And as I told Hubby, there are more than one which reply is 'yes' - from 'would you like some tea' to 'did you see the latest GoT's season? no spoiler, thanks'.

As I'm writing this (4th June 2016), I'm already working on properly plotting out the sequel, so that it would be more satisfying for you and me to read. Yes, I'm unhappy with the last part of the book and certainly the next draft will have some major chance and scene rearrangement: I feel there are a bit too many lose ends and not all knots are tight enough - or maybe, that's simply because I know well enough what will happen next XD

I would like to thank all of you, silent readers and commenters alike.

A special thank to Irina Mattioli, for shooting the cover image, and model Isabella Bianchi for lending her face to Virginia; and to @BelladonnaFox for proofreading the first draft and helping me out with all the information I needed.


As I already said and some of you might have noticed, I'm editing the whole story and posting the rewritten/retranslated chapters for the #Wattys2016: there are going to be some changes, so please don't hesitate to let me know if they make sense and help the story's development -- the best way to keep track of the changes, is to put Podestaria in your Reading List. Also, do not hesitate to vote and share by tweeting "I nominate Podestaria #MyWattysChoice" starting 31st August.


Have a nice Summer, and see you in September for Book 2


Kindest regards,
