About the Author

Hello!

So you want to know who I am? Well, I am a storyteller who is in love with words and ideas, amazed by the life and adventure of being a human. I have an urge to know them all and write them all. Sometimes words are loud, sometimes not. They attack me brutally when they are loud. I become itchy when they are quiet. I chase them like Tom chases Jerry when they hide. In both cases, I feel the pain and I feel the joy of every word. Especially when I know that the result will be a lovely book like Daddy Love You and Need You The Magic of My Sorcerer Sister, Andy Wants to Be Happy, The Girl The Dog and The Philosopher, Sisiano Star Stone.

I wrote my first poem when I was eight years old. I used to say I want to become a poet like Shakespeare when I grow up. Apparently, I grew up but...am I? I am not sure...but maybe never maybe soon. I also like Dr. Seuss. He inspires me a lot, especially when I write for kids. I love kids, they are the world to me. My heart becomes softer than a cotton ball while writing for them.

Besides writing children's books, I write plays for stage and screen. Sometimes I perform my one-act plays in a local theatre. My picture above is actually the image of a scene from one of those plays. I thought you would like to see it. So I put it here.

What do I do when I don't write? I try to unite families as a family therapist, help individuals stand up, and stay strong as a counsellor. Thank you for reading my work.

I hope you enjoyed it.

SISIANO STAR STONE

AND

THE PHILOSOPHER

Chapter One

The Holly Night

The brightest stars appeared in the sky, the moon turned to orange and then to gold, surely it was one of the most unusual night of all times. And only a few people knew why. Cicadas sang a song of love. Young and old leaves of trees moved from left to right in harmony as one. Doves performed a serenade for them, seagulls for the oceans, hills and mountains. Hope rose in the air, water, fire and cemeteries... even ants felt it in their dark small holes...and the serpents in the tinniest tip of their tails.

Change is coming, whispered the wind to the mountains, hills, rocks, stones, earth, fire air, lakes ,swans, seas and every spirit. Was it coming for better or worse? they all wondered secretly and sought the light in the darkness of their souls.

S wrote the stars in the sky.

Yes, replied the Moon and smiled. Only a handful of people could see that and all the possible reasons behind.

A young woman with no worldly husband looked out of the Crystal Hospital’s window and saw that. She had wonders, hopes, secrets and incredible life force in her heart. She was as beautiful as the stars with her long golden hair and big green eyes. Her name was Eva Holigold. She knew that not a particle of a dust on earth was going to be the same again after that night. She touched the goddess under the skin of her tummy and smiled. Sense of danger filled her heart for no apparent reason and she shuddered. Seven red eagles appeared in the sky and flew around the window. She saw triumph of darkness in their eyes.

Change is not going to be free from pain and war, her heart whispered. She wanted to grab little treasure in her tummy and never allow anyone to touch it. Eagles came closer to the  window, she stepped back, her eyes wide open. A tall and strong looking nurse with black hair saw her in the corridor. Her name was Liliano Star Stone.

Are you all right? she asked, unworldly smile in her dark eyes. Eagles flew away as soon as she said that. Eva looked at her briefly and looked back at the eagles. They disappeared in the dark. Liliano was now standing behind her, tall and strong.

Red eagles, Eva whispered.

They are? asked Liliano, surprised to hear what Eva was able to see in the dark. She  then touched Eva’s tummy in a desirous manner and looked into her eyes. Eva felt threatened and pushed Liliano’s hand away gently. Eva did not like what she saw in her dark and mysterious eyes. They made her think that Liliano knew something that no one could ever know.

What is it that she knows but I don’t? Eva wondered so incredibly painfully, repressing her new born anger and subtle hatred. She would never admit it but she was clearly frightened. And that was perfectly normal because everyone would feel that way in Liliano’s presence. She then walked towards her room. She looked back, Liliano was still there, staring at her. She stopped Eva with her eyes.

Do you know her name? she asked coldly. Eva did not reply, she barely freed herself from Liliano’s eyes and walked away.

A star fell, Eva observed, standing behind the window only thirty three minutes after she had gone to her room.

That is not a good sign, she whispered and wrapped her arms around her big tummy like a proper mother. Twelve stars mourned after the fallen one and moved towards the moon which was now like a huge golden planet in the dark sky.

Very good! exclaimed Lord Solovnor  with joy in Satranto, sitting in his throne with pride and vengeance.  His servants and soldiers were pleased to see him happy.

My Lord, she will be in the world in six hours, said the Fallen Star.

Six hours! replied Lord Solovnor.

Six hours! repeated his servants and soldiers, standing around him.

Did you observe anything unusual in her coding? asked Lord Solovnor, intense curiosity in his big reddish eyes.

She is extremely sophisticated and strong but not until she turns thirteen my Lord, said the Fallen Star. And that was the exact reason why she had ended up falling from the heaven.

Wicket! said Lord Solovnor.

And my Lord, she will know who she is only when she is thirteen, said the Fallen Star and bowed to the Lord Solovnor.

That sounds suspicious to me! God never does that to any human! said Lord Solovnor.

But she is not a human...she only looks human my Lord, said the Fallen Star. That angered Lord Solovnor.

What is she? asked he, breathing out fire.

She is a Goddess my Lord...Goddess of the Golden Age, said the Fallen Star.

The Goddess! Hahaha! The Goddess of the Golden Age! Hahaha! laughed Lord Solovnor. He was sure that no god or goddess would be able to destroy his plan. He laughed a little more and asked:

Tell me, will she have a free will as soon as she is born? asked Lord Solovnor.

Yes, my Lord, said the Fallen Star.

Wicket! replied Lord Solovnor and laughed a little louder.

Free will! Hahahaha! laughed his servants and soldiers to please him. They stopped as soon as Lord Solovnor told them to with no word.

How will others know that she is the chosen one? asked Lord Solovnor.

She will have big green eyes...she will have a star by her right eye...red shiny hair my Lord...and wings like you and I...maybe not immediately after her birth but she will eventually, said the Fallen Star and bowed again.

Do you know her mother? asked Lord Solovnor.

No, my Lord but she has no worldly father either, replied the Fallen Star.

Obviously! Where is she now? asked Lord Solovnor.

She is somewhere in England, said the Fallen Star, regret flooded her eyes somehow.

Great! Let her grow and become one with us! Golden Age cannot be free from us! exclaimed Lord Solovnor and stood up. He opened his wings, looked at his servants and soldiers.

You know what to do, don’t you? Lord Solovnor exclaimed.

Steal her dreams before she knows who she is...never allow anyone to love her including her parents, replied Lord Solovnor’s soldiers in black uniforms and bowed to him all
