About
Hey, I’m Tita.
You can connect with me on Instagram and TikTok.
I write sci-fi and fantasy novels for adults and young adults.
I love astronomy, volcanoes, calisthenics, and my dog Newt.
My life goal is to climb all the volcanoes on Earth and Olympus Mons on Mars.
I’m traditionally published in Italy. Also on Proxima Centauri b, but you’ll know for sure only in 4.25 light-years.
Why volcanoes?
This symbol represents a volcano erupting stars.
I’m utterly, uncontrollably fascinated by volcanoes and astronomy.
I have recurrent dreams of burning alive in a molten lava flow and being devoured by a Xenomorph… Here’s my cones and craters collection!

A very proud Winner of the 2022 Cassiopea Award for Best Italian Sci-Fi novel.

Khulthagar
Somebody might wonder where they ended up.
I’ll only say I trashed two novels, and this is enough pain, thanks a lot.
Trul, Slerk, Glorg, and Durghatkhul are always in my heart, but I don’t feel ready to write a classic “orc-elf-dwarf” fantasy novel.
Khulthagar will be back, though: this is a threat.
