I am an  passionate Artist and Writer currently writing another Novel. I spend most of my time in Italy and when I am not writing or preparing some artwork for an exhibition I can be seen wandering around the 'Centro Storico' of the mediaeval town I live in or popping into the cafes for a coffee and chat with friends.

My book, 'Flight of the Uberbites' is a contemporary satirical comedy that is set in the beautiful Italian countryside.The main characters, 'the Uberbites' all belong to the same family and are completely self indulgent, self serving individuals who are hell bent on causing mayhem and drama wherever they go.Their horrible narcissistic personalities keep getting in middle of their personal agenda's and ultimately sabotaging any hopes they may have held of fulfilling their personal goals : You can read a little more about the story below :

A sleepy little town in rural Italy seems like the perfect place to 'hide out' when you are on the run from INSTAPOL. At least that’s what Algernon Uberbite thought, when he packed his wife Cornelia, his son Alistair and his two faithful dogs Winston and Churchill into his Silver Ghost and literally Fled as fast as he could out of "Old Blighty'. Convinced, he would find the invisibility he so desperately needed, he headed towards the quaint little town of 'Pastacula', to stay in a run down Villa with his long time, Artist friend, Horatio. Alas, appearances can be deceitful and as Algernon soon discovers, 'All is not what it seems' and within just a few short days, the Uberbite family find themselves unwittingly involved in Art Fraud, Mafia Activities and an International Money Laundering Investigation. Follow the hilarious and unholy adventures of this Horribly Dysfunctional family as they create chaos and wreak havoc in the small rustic town of Pastacula.

I hope you enjoy the epic journey of the Uberbite family,
