Luca Reale lives in New Malden, where he enjoys all the usual things a writer likes: reading, writing, coffee, nicotine, insomnia, and psychiatric medication. His favourite books are "Pale Fire" and "Hyperion".
Luca wrote his first book at around nine years old entitled "Herman the Squid". His lawyers at the time advised him that the plot was too similar to "Finding Nemo" and as a result that literary masterpiece remains unpublished. Instead, he wrote "stories from a coma dream", his first published work which, though vastly inferior to his first effort, contains no resemblance to "Finding Nemo".
