Instead of giving the story away - I decided to document my feelings on this book. Especially since you all know that I have a special place in my heart for Marita and her books. Again she amazes me with her ability to write about action, the mafia and dark subjects.

About the Author
NATIONALITY
AND CULTURAL CONNECTIONS: I'm a true
blue Aucklander, born and bred in New Zealand. I tend to write about cultures I
have connections to, such as Croatian and Maori. I would love to visit Croatia
again as I have family there. However, in My Masters' Nightmare, I have started
writing about Italians . My husband is part Italian and I also have a degree in
Italian.SPORTS: As a teen my favorite sports were karate, badminton, and running. I also did unarmed combat and played in a touch rugby team (my gym teacher made me do the last one!) Now, I stick to coaching soccer and running. I have completed two marathons, numerous half-marathons and one 30K run.
CAREER PATH: I started off as a Graphic Designer, then went to Auckland University, where I got a BA degree in Art History and Italian Studies and a post-graduate Honors degree in Art History. I worked in the Art History field, then became a full-time artist, doing commissions. I eventually lost all of my senses and gave it up to be a poor, starving writer, smh.
FAVORITE FOODS: I'm vegetarian. I love pasta based foods, tofu, chocolate mousse and golden queen peaches.
BAD HABITS: I'm a major procrastinator that can't seem to earn money to save myself!
STATUS: Married to my high school sweetheart (which he hates me calling him). We have two kids.
