The Italian Reading Space - FREE ebooks

Dear Friends,

I've just joined the "Authors Give Back" Sale from 20 March to 20 April 2020 to give everyone something to do while staying safely indoors. This means that all my ebook novels (pen names included) are FREE on all platforms with the exception of Amazon. If you cannot find my FREE novels, please go to the links below where you will find them all listed.

The COVID-19 pandemic has reached an astounding number of positive cases and deaths in Italy and due to this, we have been locked up in our homes the past month with our loved ones. There are severe restrictions that don't permit us to move further than 200m from our homes for grocery shopping, pharmacy for medicines and doctor appointments.

We must fill out two self-certification forms every time we leave our home to justify the reason we are outside and these are given to the police when we are stopped on the street. One indicates our home address when we leave and the address to where we are going, for example grocery shopping so name and address of store must be indicated. The second form is when we are returning to our home so for example it would indicate the name and address of the store going to our home address.

I have a husband, two young adult daughters studying at university, who have online courses due to the pandemic, and a beautiful cocker who is happy that the family is all at home. We live in a 100m apartment and I must say that it is not easy living happily in the confined space. We've ordered many  things online, like an elliptical bike to keep us fit, lots of toilet paper in the event it runs out in the stores, N99 masks and enough hand sanitisers to last us until the summer. We try to keep busy and out of each other's way during the day but it's not easy.

This situation is surreal. It makes us think of science fiction movies such as 'the day after' and realise that these movies are not far off from today's reality. It's incredible how the COVID-19 has quickly spread globally.

Anyhow, I hope you stay safe and healthy. Stay indoors as much as you can and read books that will keep your mind occupied. I hope at least one of my books will entertain you and make you smile for even the shortest of moments, to distract you from this difficult life that we are now living. I truly hope we'll be able to go out again sometime soon. On a positive note, this situation has cleaned up the air dramatically.

My best wishes for you and your family no matter where you are in the world.

Buona serata carissimi amici e che Dio vi benedica.
Baci

Grace
