Dark Corners (ePub)

My pen name is Aria Cross. I was born in Sicily, in the beautiful city of Palermo on March 10, 1968 and I have lived there during my childhood with my parents, Salvatrice and Pietro, and my two sisters, Marina and Jackie. I grew up in San Nicola L'Arena, a small town about forty minutes from Palermo. Sicily is part of me and I will never forget the smells, the countryside, the mountains, the history and the Mediterranean and all the memories that connect me to that place. I met my soul mate and loving and faithful husband, Salvatore there until we moved to America in 1994 with my firstborn and best friend, Bruno and then I had four more wonderful children, Peter, Xavian, Davon and Rosemari, all who light up my existence and give me reason for living. I work for my fathers Italian restaurant, The Baby Moon, in the Hamptons.
I am a writer; I write. I haven’t won awards, enrolled in prestigious colleges or have been part of writer’s groups. I’m just a mother who by chance has always loved to write. Writing and reading have been a hunger in me since childhood, as a thirst for knowledge and meaning. Writing for me is a way to express myself. It is something that I prefer to speaking, since the tongue is a traitor when let loose; you never know what it will say. The act of writing gives me time to reflect as to what truly I want to project.
Thoughts come to me; silly thoughts, deep thoughts, constructed and not. I write them down. I always walk with a piece of paper and a pencil in my pocket to capture these thoughts which are fleeting, never to return again.
I was told once that I am just a mom, an ordinary person, and that’s what my passion and duty should be, but I beg to differ; yes, I am a mom, but I can also be much more if I choose to be , and still fulfill my duty.
