Author and community historian, Tessa Floreano writes historical tales about Italians, both real and imagined. She believes the secret to happiness includes curiosity, lifelong learning, and tales well told—but travel and tea help. She has journeyed to more than 20 countries and sipped tea in each one.
She resides in the foggy-rainy-cool Pacific Northwest, though she makes regular research forays north of the 49th parallel to Vancouver (her former hometown), and east of Greenland to her true ancestral home, near Venice. It helps to be a dual Italian-Canadian citizen, hold a U.S. green card, and have relatives all over the globe. All it really does is give her more work and research options, not to mention fodder for the tales she spins.
Speaking of which, Tessa has a few of those up her sleeve so subscribe to her newsletter to get an update on her novels in progress, events where she's speaking or signing books, and other goodies like Italian history and recipes.
