Mi sono laureato alla Sapienza in Lingue e Culture del Mondo Moderno.
Amo la letteratura d'evasione.
Mi piace scrivere nel linguaggio metaforico del fantasy, attraverso il quale si possono esprimere anche concetti forti o scomodi e fornire spunti di riflessione, lasciando al lettore la scelta se di restare nelle acque superficiali e godersi la nuotata in scintillanti mari fantasy, oppure scendere nel profondo degli abissi e osservare scenari a volte misteriosi o spaventosi.
La Trilogia del Maremoto è una saga femminista, i protagonisti saranno pure gay, ma le vicende ruotano attorno a figure femminili fondamentali e Rosso ne è l'emblema. Per secoli le donne hanno dato voce alla minoranza -

Whether it’s creating her own characters or getting caught up in someone else’s, there’s no denying that Bru is happiest when she’s engrossed in a story. She and her husband have two children, which means a lot of her books get written from the sidelines of various sports practices. -

T.A. Moore
TA Moore is a Northern Irish writer of romantic suspense, urban fantasy, and contemporary romance novels. A childhood in a rural, seaside town fostered in her a suspicious nature, a love of mystery, and a streak of black humour a mile wide. As her grandmother always said, ‘she’d laugh at a bad thing that one’, mind you, that was the pot calling the kettle black. TA Moore studied History, Irish mythology, English at University, mostly because she has always loved a good story. She has worked as a journalist, a finance manager, and in the arts sectors before she finally gave in to a lifelong desire to write.
