About the Author

Enzo was born in the rural village of Torrice, Italy, and emigrated with this parents to Australia, where he grew up in the Sugar Cane town of Childers, Queensland.  He enlisted in the RAAF from school and then as a civilian again worked at several occupations from Advertising to Cab Driving.  He wrote poetry from the age of 18, not for any purpose of publishing them but as a means of expression.  He helped teach a Children’s Ministry class each Sunday with his Church, and developed many characters while teaching.  At the Age of 26 he traveled to Italy to visit his birth place, and many relatives he’d never known.  The travel-bug had now bitten him however, and once back in Australia, he used the freedom of Cab Driving, to travel again, this time, the world over, and he lived out one of his fantasies, which was living in Israel, where he worked for two years.  He attended Christian Heritage College in Brisbane, Australia, where he completed a BA in (English & History), and began teaching.  After studying Children’s Literature he turned his hand to writing, and wrote the Tsami & Tsado trilogy.  He then completed a BEd (Italian & English) and MA (Applied Linguistics) at the University of Queensland.    In 2004 he began teaching English in North Carolina high schools, USA where he has found a wealth of inspiration.  He lives in rural St Pauls with his dog, Caleb, an Australian Shepherd of course, and his Chooks (chickens in America). Enzo attends the First Pentecostal Holiness Church, and approaches his writing with a philosophy which says, ‘if the story is not going to up-build and teach something lasting, why bother writing it?
