Welcome to the blog of Grace Mattioli, author of The Greco Family Trilogy. This set of family drama books consists of three novels: Olive Branches Don’t Grow On Trees (2012), Discovery of an Eagle (2014), The Bird that Sang in Color (2021). See more information on her books.
Grace began her blog in 2011 as a companion to Olive Branches Don’t Grow On Trees. Posts were devoted primarily to recipes from all of the delicious Italian food mentioned in this novel. Interspersed throughout were posts on her experience in writing this debut. Shortly before publishing her second novel, Discovery of an Eagle, Grace began this new site. The blog at this site contains previous blog posts from her first blog and additionally features several series of posts on various subjects. The first series was on the places visited in the cross country road story, Discovery of an Eagle. After publishing the third book in the trilogy, The Bird that Sang in Color, Grace began a series of posts on the artwork from the sketchbook that inspired this tale.
This blog also contains a series on indie author publishing and one on finding happiness–the core subject of all of Grace’s family drama books. Be sure to subscribe to the blog so you don’t miss a post.
