Jed Smith

Jed Smith is a writer, an artist, and a photographer. He grew up in the South, where this novel is set. Before moving to Italy ten years ago, Jed worked as a senior creative director for a national brand and led a talented team of copywriters, graphic designers, web designers, art directors, and creative directors.

After moving to reside in Italy over eight years ago, Jed created a now well-established blog, ItalyWise.com, which chronicles the many experiences of adapting to and learning a new language and culture. He also shares personal musings about the trials and tribulations of making such a dramatic life and cultural change.

As an accomplished fine artist, Jed has been the recipient of many awards and honors and is a Signature Member of the National Watercolor Society (by invitation only).
