Ton Pascal

I am a writer, art designer, and painter. I’m also an avid reader and passionate about history. I lived in Paris, France for over 22 years and loved the city’s ancient life and history.

My first book, Leonardo the Last Years is a fact-based novel about Leonardo da Vinci's last three and half years of life in Amboise, France. I spent four years researching Leonardo and read over four thousand pages of his works before writing the first chapter.

I have since discovered new facts about Leonardo's life that were kept hidden and decided to take the book out of Amazon's Bookshelf and re-write it all. The new version will be available by late September.

As for Da Vinci's Fears, I will also re-write the much talked about Leonardo's lover, Giacomo Caproti, better known as Salai.

Leonardo’s life-work, loyalty and passion would soon be put to a test facing his most dreaded and guarded, life changing identity fears. Salai becomes a dangerous and much south after spy, threading carelessly the emotional landscape and the volatile court life of the 16th century France.
