Let’s get back to my love stories that will run on Fridays until the end of May – after which, Friday will be the linky day and Saturday will be WoW again (as in Writers on Writing or Words of Wisdom, like last summer) until September. Then we’ll see what inspires me… So today I [...]

Love-story with… England
It all started with… a royal wedding! The Royal Wedding Of Last Century, though. Yeah, Wills’s parents. First time I went to England was for three weeks in June 1981 with EF. I spoke mostly Italian (even if we had young people from Sweden and Norway in the small town of Folkestone, all brought by [...]

Love-story with… God
Because it’s Good Friday and I have been raised as Roman Catholic (I’m Italian, after all), I thought this could be a good day to tell my story with religion at large. Growing up in Switzerland where Catholics weren’t the absolute majority, and having attended mixed masses of Catholics and Protestants, when I did my [...]

Love-story with… dance
As a child I did ballet dancing. I loved the tutu and the graceful positions, but around 10 or 12 I stopped going. Luckily, as I wasn’t able to do the splits at 10 when I was much shorter than now, imagine a 1,79m (5’10”) ballet dancer! No way, that wasn’t my purpose in life [...]

Love-story with… Japan
When I jotted down a list of love stories, Japan was still doing fine. In the aftermath of last March events, I guess it’s time to share my love for a country so different in culture and language from Europe, that it’s still on my list of countries to visit ASAP. It all started in [...]

Love-story with… Indie Publishing
You might think it’s something I started this week. But actually, it’s not. Back in the days of paper zines a.k.a. self-published ventures, I was one of them. I have mentioned it on this blog already, but I guess it’s time for a re-cap. My really very first indie publication was a single-copy hand-made (meaning [...]

Love-story with… reading
Here’s the postponed love-story that should have come out last week, slightly edited to adjust to this week’s events. I thought I could talk about my relationship with reading. I don’t think I ever was an avid reader like my sister – too lazy! But I did read a lot, both comic books and novels. [...]

Love-story with… music
“Oh, I say thank you for the music” sang the ABBA. Or, to say it in French, “Heureusement que la musique est là quand le coeur n’y est pas” (so good there’s music when the heart is not there – song by Dave). Both are from the 1970s, a time when I moved from kiddies [...]

Love-story with… the 4 seasons
Let’s start from my favorite: winter! I love the cold, I still miss the snow and I love those chilly sunny days. Although we don’t get snow in Rome (3 times in 33 years…) and I was a child when we lived in snowy places (hence I didn’t have to drive on snow or ice), [...]

My name is Barb, and I'm a writer, sometimes an artist, mostly a world-creator and storyteller of fantasy worlds. I have more than one pen-name and write in more than one genre.
I blog about life, the universe... OK, you can guess I'm a writer, but not Douglas Adams, so I'll leave the Hitchhiker's Guide aside. And no, I'm not going to spam you by only rambling about my books - if you're interested, just go to the dedicated pages, thank you.
This is my blog, about the "creative barbwire" that I am - there's no rose without thorns, right?
Enjoy...-
