Constance Cassinelli can relate to being a female Huckleberry Finn on a raft down the river of life in search of adventure. Wonderful tributaries have provided the thrill of writing discoveries as well as challenges. To navigate back upstream against current has provided the greatest reward as it has been a real test of determination and resourcefulness. Some of the writing adventures she has explored are a historical novel beginning the year of European Revolutions in 1848 Liguria, a humorous novella-cookbook set in England, the flash non-fiction escapades involving eccentric relatives, and the numerous comedies of errors experienced by her poet friend Jeannie Weenie. Three of her stories are published in the Inland Empire California Writers Club 2019 Anthology. Five of her stories are featured in the SoCal Writers Showcase. Cayenne and the Diablo Kid is her first novel. |
