It really is the LAST DAY of the crowdfunder for my novel, Partisan, which weaves together a
#war-story
, a
#coming-of-age
story, and a
#mid-years-of-our-lives
story, unfolding together against the backdrop of these wild hills in the north of Italy.

Nice message from an editor who read Partisan two years ago: I remember it well and some of the passages in the novel were so beautifully written that I still think about them now.

was the other wartime writer and partisan famous in these hills. His stories are full of these places - Cascina Langa, Sant' Elena - the valley behind us, where wolves are still sighted in the winter, soft footed - the towns of Alba, Mango, the hamlets of Manera and Campetto.
