Laura short bio
Born in Rome, Italy, I am Italian and now live in Sitges near Barcelona, Spain. I am also the author of 30+ books in the very particular and unique genre of Erotic Romance with an Edge. I have been traveling the globe since age five and have no intention of quitting. After having been an avid reader all my life, I decided at age forty to write my own stories, and they had to be about sex, given the way it affects human and social relationships, inevitably changing them despite our beliefs to the contrary. After all, sex is the foundation of our society, the root of many prejudices and the basis of its dual nature. But sometimes, individuals can’t relate to these conventions, so I analyze and challenge them, indicating alternative lifestyles that people could pursue.
I write both in Italian and English, mostly fiction of various genres, from dark fantasy erotica to mysteries up to everyday ordinary life stories. Among others, they include the Virtus Saga books, all eight of them, not to mention the Soulmate and ReScue Series, along with several horror novels and a few historical ones, too. eXtasy Books is one of my premier publishers specializing in erotic literature. If you’ve never read anything of mine and would now care for a taste, you can download all my novels’ first chapters in PDF by clicking on the “Read First Chapter” icon in my books’ web pages or download the short story I’m Coming.
Crichton's pungent humor blends in with this historical adventure to spin an intriguing yet witty tale that kept me hooked until the last page!
True that Michael Crichton is one of my favorite authors ever, but I didn't know how funny and ironic he could be. This work was therefore an unexpected surprise, and it thoroughly delighted me.
I would recommend this book to anyone with a high sense of adventure, a curiosity for the history of the US expansion in the West, a bonding with the fate of the American Indians, but mostly the propensity to make fun of people and situations no matter how dire their conditions.
His latest work had me hooked from the first page. Events were woven together so intricately yet so perfectly that they came round in a full circle without a single flaw!
And the characters stand out so vividly that it's like I actually know them in real life.
This book is nothing short of superb, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an out-of-the-ordinary plot, a series of unexplainable coincidences and an unexpected ending!
I found the plot incredible in its simplicity and directness. I also fell for Mr. Tsuneo Asai, not just because he's the main character, mostly for his burocratic habits and mannerisms.
But what I liked above all was the description of a particular section of Japanese society, tinged as it was with that rètro flavor given by the almost fifty years' distance since the writing of the book.
