Monica R. DiPeppe-Pinelli

Hello, my name is Monica Pinelli and I live in Vero Beach, Florida.

Unlike other authors, some famous; I am not one of them. I am however your average person who lives life probably the way you do. In my lifetime I would have never thought that I could compose a book by simply reminiscing over my life with my son, Michael-david. Writing my memoirs gave birth to a manuscript.

Yet hidden abilities can sometimes appear later in life. In my case I was 57 years old hiding a talent for writing deep within my soul. (Isn't it always the last place you look.)

I don't think I ever saw writing as a part of my future when I was younger. God knows it never crossed my mind when I attended vocational college. My degree is "Fashion Construction and Design" which is not even close to a journalist.

Yet I was compelled to write "The Joy of a Heartbreak" and I'm glad I did. I simply took a chance, now I see myself as a late bloomer with a hidden talent I didn't know I had.
