Valentino at Online Booksellers

So my book is finally starting to appear on the websites of online booksellers.

The listings lack cover art and they claim by book is unavailable (though you can purchase Valentino at Lulu.com).

I'll have to contact the sites to upload artwork and correct the listings, but just seeing "Valentino: a play in verse" on Amazon.com is a big step forward.

Valentino on Google Book Search

Several months ago I submitted my book to Google Book Search.

This week, googling around for references to "Valentino," I noticed that a preview of Valentino: a play in verse is now available from Google.

Very cool!

Check it out:

Francesca: a play in verse

I'm writing a new verse play based on the tragic love story of Francesca da Rimini and Paolo Malatesta. The story comes from Dante's Inferno. In the nineteenth century, Francesca da Rimini became the subject of several plays, operas, and paintings.

I've posted the first scene on my website: Francesca: a play in verse
