I love music that makes me cry and people that make me laugh. I worry about the fate of the world, am very accident-prone and totally useless in the kitchen. I'm a magnet for sick animals. I live most of the time in rural Italy with my husband where our region was struck by a long series of earthquakes - read about all that, here: bit.ly/Earthquake-Blog Before beginning my new career as a 'Modern-Day Chronicler' I worked as an investigative journalist for prestigious television current affairs programs in Britain: BBC 'Panorama' and C4 'Dispatches'. It was here I became drawn to exploring the darker sides of life and those that are often hidden from view.
