Synopsis

While researching the online archives of The Providence Journal, writer Anna Matteo makes a keying error-a simple mistake that leads her to a path she'd been avoiding most of her life; on a journey inside the world of her father, Paulie Matteo, killed gangland-style more than two decades ago.Driven by fate and goaded by a Muse in the persona of writer Amy Tan, Anna delves into her painful and unresolved past, to uncover the truth about her father-dubbed The Invisible Man.Employing philosophical insight and a sardonic wit, Schiano vividly takes the reader through myriad brush strokes as her character paints the unfinished portraits of both her father and herself.

About this title

About the Author:

Rita wanted to be a writer ever since Santa Claus gave her a Tom Thumb typewriter when she was six years old. Years later, at the ripe old age of eleven, Rita began writing Girl From U.N.C.L.E. episodes after her favorite television show was cancelled. Sr. Mary Andrews, her homeroom teacher, set aside thirty minutes each week for Rita to read the latest adventures of April Dancer and Mark Slade to her classmates.Fast forward to 1989...pursuing yet another dream, Rita opened an Italian-Japanese restaurant in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. She began writing late at night “to relax” from the long hours the restaurant demanded. She went on to write Sweet Bitter Love, published in 1997 by Rising Tide Press, (New York), contributed several short stories to magazines, and to two anthologies, Early Embraces and New Beginnings, (Alyson Publications, CA).

From the Inside Flap:

Employing philosophical insight and a sardonic wit, Schiano vividly takes the reader through myriad brush strokes as her character paints the unfinished portraits of both her father and herself.
