About 'Deadly Tuscan Wedding'

I've decided to expand my horizons from writing nonfiction training manuals for Final Cut Pro and venture into the world of fiction. My first novel is a thriller/ murder mystery set in sun-drenched Tuscany, where a wedding explosion thrusts videographer Leonardo back into his secret life as an intelligence operative. With his assistant kidnapped and a deadly mafia merger looming, he races against time to expose a decades-old massacre and save the woman he loves. They traverse iconic Italian locations, from Capri to Pienza, Montepulciano, and Milan, while experiencing events with 2000 soldiers in the 2,778th birthday parade in Rome, the Tulip Festival in Castiglione Del Lago, and the 1,800-boat Venice Vogalonga from the 13th century. Trust no one. Suspect everyone.

My intention is to post regularly about the process, trials, and tribulations of writing the book.

The posts will include why I selected the subject and how the characters were created first, beginning with Leonardo Lanci below:
