Il Conte di Valpelline

I am a professional equestrian who writes novels, poems and essays in English and Spanish

A passion for creating stories

Although I wrote poetry in my youth, I did not finish my first full length novel until an unusual twist of fate persuaded me to unbridle my life experience to create gripping historical fiction and romance.

You can read more on this in the About section! 

Novels

I am the author of two historical romance novels, “Gribanovo” and “Maral” and I am working on a third.

Poetry

With over 300 poems written throughout my life, I will publish my favourite ones here on a weekly basis.

Letters and Essays

Using a literary form that permits more artistic expression, you will also find some of my most heartfelt work in this format, often written in Spanish or Italian.

Non-fiction

Whether writing about business, finance or equestrian sport, all my non-fiction work is published elsewhere under other names.

Languages

For practical purposes, my novels are always penned first in English and then translated directly by me into Spanish. However many of my poems and essays are written directly in Spanish, French, Russian or Italian.

Ghostwriting

Please reach out to ask me about Ghostwriting whether for Fiction or Non-Fiction.

“This was to be a love born of an inevitable, natural law, not of a need or want. Just as the sun kisses the horizon at the end of every day, regardless of what the sky remembers, or wishes to forget.”
