Welcome         

       Thank you for stopping by to learn more about me and my debut novel, Isabella's Libretto. 
         Isabella is a spirited, ambitious orphan who plays cello in Antonio Vivaldi's remarkable all-female orchestra in Venice, Italy, in 1715. On one hand,  Isabella is bitter because her mother abandoned her years ago, but on the other, she is alight with a passion for her musical talent  that is nurtured within  the Ospedale della Pieta'.
Isabella's "little story" is one of friendship, loss, betrayal,
​ and ultimately, claiming one's destiny.
(For ages 10 and up)

A "gem of a book" that  "celebrates the beauty of       music..."                               --The Historical Novel Society
