\nI am delighted to announce that my ebook short story The Widow\u2019s Consoler (available on Kindle and other epub devices)is now translated into Italian.
\nAfter the death of her invalid husband, a widow\u2019s previously suppressed feelings for her late husband\u2019s best friend surface to reveal what was a desperate course of action.
\nItalian sample: the beginning
\nEra fine estate quando si incontrarono di nuovo presso il canale. Era stato via, si era congedato subito dopo il funerale. Aveva quasi dimenticato quanto fosse minuta, e aveva ancora quello che presumeva fosse l\u2019aspetto desolato della vedova fresca.
\nQuando le chiese come stava, lei alz\u00f2 le spalle, eludendo la domanda, e disse di aver letto il suo romanzo.
\nCome aveva avuto il tempo di farlo, si chiese, di concentrarsi su un\u2019opera di finzione con tutto il dolore per la morte di Finn?
\n\u201c\u00c8 cos\u00ec ben fatto, e preciso, specie sulla recessione e tutti quei soldi sprecati.\u201d
\nEra vestita in blu jeans. Aveva ancora delle belle forme, pens\u00f2, nonostante il passare degli anni.
\n\u201cSono tutta sola adesso. In quella casa.\u201d
\n Cosa gli stava dicendo, affermando l\u2019ovvio in quel modo? Forse che non aveva figli?
\nMagari era uno dei suoi soliti vecchi trucchetti, immagin\u00f2 considerando quei suoi accattivanti occhi compassionevoli.<\/p>\n

In the original English:
\nIt was late summer when they bumped into each other again by the canal. He had been away, had taken leave soon after the funeral. He’d almost forgotten how petite she was, and she was still wearing what he presumed was the bereft look of the recently widowed.
\nWhen he asked her how she was, she shrugged, skirting over it and said she had read his novel.
\nHow had she time to do that, he wondered, to concentrate on a work of fiction with all the grief at Finn’s passing?
\n‘About the recession and all the money wasted; it was so well drawn, spot on.’
\nClad in blue jeans, she still had a nice shape, he thought, despite the passing years.
\n‘I’m all on my own now. In that house.’
\nWhat was she saying to him, stating the obvious like that, for she had no children? Could this be one of her old familiar ruses, he conjectured, judging by those pitiable eyes of hers engaging?<\/p>\n

The Widow\u2019s Consoler is also already translated into Spanish, \"\"<\/a> French, \"\"<\/a>Portuguese \"\"<\/a>and is on audio.
