The Origin of Caccia
An Exclusive Short Story
Escaping a bloody mob war in the United States, Louis arrives in Southern Italy in 1984 as a refugee with a one-way ticket and a need for protection. Taken in by a Sicilian family, he is placed within the Gargoyles, a shadowy motorcycle brotherhood that acts as the family’s enforcers. Freshly patched, he rides into the foothills of Mount Etna, expecting a routine intimidation job. But when the mission reveals a darkness he cannot ignore, Louis is forced to make a brutal choice that will bury his past and forge a terrifying new legend.
Every Story Starts Somewhere?
Where does your story start? When did it become something you wanted to put in writing? Me? This one started on a Blue Chair in the French Riviera, sitting there drinking my morning espresso.
IRL
My stories start with the concrete reality of places I have stood and machines I have touched. I use those tangible details as a foundation, then I let my imagination build the danger and the romance on top. It is about taking the truth of the everyday and giving it a redline to chase.
