Dov’è la Luna?
Surely, I can’t be wrong about everything. My dark, satirical mindset also displays light which, hopefully, can prevail. Therefore, I feel compelled to write – maybe a powerful read and a unique insight into an unusual mind!
Where does a story start? One might say at the beginning, but that would take an inordinate amount of time. Frankly, there’s so much material, but it’s best to keep it concise and not put down a stream of consciousness virtuosity. My book navigates an ordered chaos of tragedy, trauma, mental health, despair, lust, love, and maybe hope.
It’s a raw ride within the heavens of the Alps with Dante’s Hell lurking in the shadows, and then the Moon rises, illuminating with dazzling luminosity, alluringly beautiful, and I ask my Lupina, my Cressida, my everything, “Dov’è la Luna?” and she raises her small hand, pointing lovingly!

15_12
15 is moody and argumentative. He takes significantly more than he gives to family life, making communication difficult. Moments of genuine, enjoyable connection with our beautiful firstborn child are increasingly rare.12 is the star of his own show. He thrives on the stage, actively seeking large audiences to entertain. He would do almost anything for a laugh or for the attention of others. Talented on the rugby field, he holds his own against some impressively built peers. However, academics are not his strength, and school interests him primarily for the social connections it offers.15_12 is a candid account of 365 days in our lives, named after their ages at the start of the journey. It explores the relentless challenges of raising teenagers in a technology-obsessed world and chronicles the lengths we go to each day to maintain perspective. The book recounts the thankless work, brutal rejections, and absurd decision-making that come with parenting teenagers who tightly cling to the belief that they rule the world.To survive the hard days, we lean on humour and sarcasm, though there are times when my emotional resilience is worn thin by their persistent mental abuse and disdain for my existence. On those days, I enjoy the guilt of knowing I have once again allowed them to bring out the worst in me as both a parent and a person.

The Child Within Me
From the whispers of our souls,
Let the inner child come alive,
Guiding us to hearts so pure,
As we dance through trials and strive.Through generations, we will heal,
Ending suffering with each prayer we send,
A legacy of love we extend,
A bond with God that knows no end.With open hearts, we seek to mend,
Passing healing like a gentle breeze,
In unity, our spirits blend,
For a brighter world, our souls find ease.We’ll nurture dreams in starlit skies,
Keep joy and hope forever near,
For in this life, our spirits rise,
Embracing the light, casting out fear.So when we leave this earthly shore,
To meet God in that sacred space,
We’ll stand in love, with hearts of grace,
Saying, “I came with the same purity You sent me with.”£6.99 -

Pauli’s Report
In 1942, the Wehrmacht was forced to partially de-motorise its army until 1945. The reason for this? Lack of fuel. This split the German military into two parallel forces: one mechanised, the other reliant on horses.
Almost a century later, an eerily similar crisis looms. If China and India consumed as much oil per capita as the United States, then current production would not be enough to meet their needs. As their economic growth is inevitable, the same paradigm as that of the German army in 1942 could become a reality by 2040. In other words, countries across the globe which consume oil to the detriment of other countries, are excluded de facto.
Who will dominate when access to oil becomes exclusionary? What alliances will emerge? Is our countdown tied to the last drop of fossil fuel?
In addition to an analysis based on figures, we propose to challenge our perception of the world, in order to bring a different understanding of our history and our future.
