Vincent LoCoco, Author of Historical Fiction

Ciao and welcome to my website

I am Chip LoCoco, the author of Tempesta's Dream and the novels of the Bellafortuna Series, A Song for Bellafortuna and Saving the Music.

Somehow, along my life's journey, I became the writer of Italian Historical Fiction novels. On my website, you can not only learn a little bit more about me, but you can also read my blog, which I think you will love. It covers everything from writing, to opera, and all things Italian.

I am always welcome to answering any questions you may have about any of my novels and the writing process. I also love hearing from my readers about my books.

So again, welcome and be sure to sign up for my readers list to get updates and information, and perhaps, soon, a peek at my newest soon to be released novel.

Mille Grazie.
Chip LoCoco
