Bio
Travelling around the world as an airhostess or an astronaut is a dream she has
nurtured since childhood. However, in her teens, she realised that she preferred literature and philosophy to maths, physics and chemistry; that piloting an aircraft would be much more difficult than driving a car; and that airhostesses were usually taller than she was.
The study of law during her master's degree course in Business Economics in Venice (Italy) convinced her that the diplomatic career was out of question too. At twenty-six, she left Italy to polish her English in London and there she married an Algerian man (Sami), worked in many different jobs; and attended many courses, including one in Counselling Skills.
Following a few years in France, where their daughter Sofia was born, she is now growing roots in Folkestone (UK), where she frequented a few courses on Creative Writing. Her love for Science Fiction, and the realisation that writing would allow her to fulfil her childhood dream of travelling, although just with her imagination, convinced her to teleport herself to London to attend a one-day workshop on what makes SF tick, led by bestselling SF author David Wingrove. Still eager to learn how to hone her craft, she also followed an online intensive writing course with renowned author Gay Hendricks.
Her short story "A New Beginning" appeared in The Folkestone 2014 Anthology and her novelette "Homecoming" was published in the SF magazine Nebula Rift in 2014. Her novella "Across Spacetime" will be released shortly by Fountain Blue Publishing. She is currently working on its sequel and finds the time to volunteer as Deputy Editor with the SF magazine Nebula Rift.
