Dragon Soul Press took time to interview Fulvio Gatti, an author featured in Across Time and A Death in the Night.
I’m an ESL writer from Italy who found his way by writing and publishing in English, mostly short stories by now. For many reasons, some of them goods, my speculative fiction roots and attitude works better on the International market. I’m a journalist and as a volunteer I’m active in local politics, with a broad range of interests that sometimes conflict with one another (that’s fun, most of the times). Also, I’m a dad, with plenty of daddy jokes always ready (poor family of mine!).

- Enjoying the process, get some recognition and through that write more and better.
