Bio | I am a novelist, editor, professor, social media professional, and critical & creative thinker. My work as a writer is the thread that ties my broad experience together. THE CHEF’S SECRET, my second novel, is set in Renaissance Rome, detailing the mysterious life of one of the most famous chefs in history. THE CHEF’S SECRET tells the story of Bartolomeo Scappi, the private chef to four Popes and the author of one of history’s best-selling cookbooks. His nephew and apprentice, Giovanni, is on a quest to discover the truth about his uncle and the fifty-year love affair that the chef hid from the world. THE CHEF’S SECRET is a fictional retelling of the life of Bartolomeo Scappi. When his cookbook, L’Opera, was published in 1570, it became the world’s best-selling cookbook for the next two hundred years. My husband, my shining star, is a French-Acadian/Italian who is a fantastic chef and visual artist. My kitty Merlin supplies us with enough white fur to make ourselves winter coats each year. Kidding about that last fact, but technically, it could be true.
