Best of Italy

Mirella Patzer is a true blue Taurean in every way; stubborn, tenacious, loyal, friendly, outgoing, and headstrong. Oh, and you can add passion to the mix - a trait she comes by honestly through her Italian background. So she never does things half way.

She was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, but grew up in Calgary, a city famous for the Calgary Stampede, oil companies, and the Wild West.

Mirella hates winter, and wearing socks. She spends far too much time at the computer and often gives up a work-out to squeeze in a little bit more writing time which is always in great shortage due to a rambunctious little grandson who frequently interrupts her work with a variety of unanticipated, yet humorous calamities and disasters.

She loves all things Italian, a clean house, books, cooking, writing, and a good helping of her own home made tira-mi-su which she swears is the best anyone's ever tasted.

So stay awhile to share her passion for history and the frustrations she faces on a daily basis as she eeks out a career as an historical fiction author.
