Lombardi, Pietrantonio: - Where many writers would begin with a list ot their previous works, this author confesses to having penned only this book! Pietrantonio lives in Golden, Colorado with his wife Jackie where they love to entertain family and friends, whether with games of bocce on their court or in the kitchen with savory meals and lively conversations. At the age of 65, he still plays soccer and loves to watch all of his 7 grandchildren play the game that he grew up with and loves. Summer days are spent tending to his vegetable garden while keeping on eye on his chickens as they and other critters try to invade his Garden of Eden.
