From the Author:
Dear Reader
I appreciate your interest in reading these few words in which I talk about mywork. It is a good habit to try to understand what led an author to write aparticular book, because the motivations vary from author to author and frombook to book.
As a sign of respect for the reader, in all my books I make a thorough previousinvestigation of the facts the work refers to, particularly considering thatmany of them take place in places sometimes very far apart from each other andalso in various historical periods; my books often travel indeed throughdilated stretches in time and space.
These searches are based on my memory, in the large family library and the hugequarry of facts and data existing in the Internet. In the global networkeveryone can search but not all find the same ... fortunately, since thisresults in a huge variability and diversity.
The plot of course comes from the imagination and fantasy. This is critical forme and I confess that I would never write a book that I wouldn“t like to read;my interests as a writer and as a reader coincide to a large degree.
My works often take place in exotic locations and refer sometimes to surprisingand even paradoxical facts, but never enter the realm of the fantastic andincredible. Moreover, the most bizarre events are often true.
"Mirage-Three Exotic Stories" consists of three stories belonging to the genre of historical thriller, full of romantic suspense, which take place respectively in Africa, Tibet and medieval Russia.
