About Me

I am an author of fiction (writing thrillers with my best friend of more than twenty-six years, Jill Gregory) and nonfiction (writing narrative nonfiction solo). My books have made international bestseller lists and have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. One was made into a TV movie, and another has been optioned for film.
I'm a wife, mom, volunteer, avid reader and music lover; hold dual US and Italian citizenship, and love to travel. My hands-down favorite singer/entertainer is Mario Frangoulis.

Welcome to all my new readers!

The following interview on Belle Isle was shot in November, 2007, by Detroit News videographer David Coates. While our family has spent innumerable happy times in this park in the Detroit River, I hadn't been on the island for nearly two decades. This was my first visit since learning, in 1993, that my grandmother had a secret sister -- and that family members murdered her there.

The song Neraida is from the CD Amor Oscuro by Mario Frangoulis.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Daniel Silva, Martin Scorsese, Oprah Winfrey, Benjamin Netanyahu, Johnny Depp, the Dalai Lama. I wish I could have met my Grandpa Tintori, William Shakespeare, Einstein and King Solomon.
