Nicholas Vazzana

Nicholas Vazzana began his writing career in television as a news anchor and co-host of Face Michigan. Working under the name Nick Stewart, he went on to work for CBS stations in the Midwest and New York. He later founded Orange Cherry Software, New York's first educational software company.

His interest in history, politics, and the extraordinary lives of historical figures has inspired his fiction. In The Last Carbonaro, Vazzana brings the turbulent world of 19th-century Italy to life through Felix Orsini, the revolutionary whose journey ultimately brought him into conflict with Napoleon III. His work combines historical research with imaginative storytelling to explore revolution, ambition, loyalty, and the human cost of political change.

Vazzana continues to develop historical fiction centered on compelling figures and pivotal moments from the past.
