Ciao, amici!
Every year, I post about Michelangelo’s birthday on social media, but I seldom think to post on my blog. I’m going to rectify that today.
In real life, the Medici were patrons of Michelangelo. With their backing, he was able to create timeless classics that we still enjoy today.
In my fictional world, their relationship is something even more noteworthy. In fact, it reaches through the ages to modern times, where descendants of the Medici still live, and a brotherhood of warriors protect them from an evil cabal intent on using them for their machinations or eliminating them for good.
This four-book saga has it all—magic, mystery, political intrigue, international settings, family drama, love,
If you like steamy romantic suspense spanning several centuries and two continents, I invite you to celebrate the birthday of Il Divino (as Michelangelo was known in his lifetime) by checking out the Medici Protectorate series.
Grazie!
How fun to celebrate Michelangelo’s birthday with your books, Staci. The story sounds like great fun. 😀

Thank you, Jacquie. I have to confess, the Brothers hold a special place in my heart for a variety of reasons, but I don’t reread these novels. I know I’ve grown as a writer and don’t want to be sad about my stylistic choices. Part of me wishes I’d waited until I was more polished to write their stories, but I just couldn’t wait. They insisted on hitting the page right then.

I’m the same way with my early works. I thought about reediting them, but truthfully, I’m proud of those books and don’t want to change them, imperfections and all. 🙂

Aww. Thanks. Keep in mind, this is early work. My voice has changed (a lot). If you’ve read any recent work of mine, I’m certain you’ll see a difference. (I refuse to reread that series because I don’t want to irritate myself with my stylistic choices.)
