Hello, everybody 
I'm an award-winning Italian-American journalist who dishes about true crime on the Italian Woman at the Table blog hosted by the Seattle Post-Intellligencer.
My upcoming
book grew out of this blog. MURDER IN
ITALY: The Story Behind the Murder of Meredith Kercher, the Case Against Amanda
Knox, and the Strange World of an Italian College Town,"a gripping account
of the notorious November 2007 murder of a British exchange student in Perugia,
Italy, and the American girl accused of the crime."
It will be published after the verdict.
My blogs have been featured on Newsweek.com and Martha Stewart Living Radio. I also write for newspapers and magazines and teach an online class at writers.com.
The best way to reach me is by email..
The truth about Candace
I fly often to Italy, where my
cousins find my adventures ridiculous. Like the time I went mountain
climbing in Abruzzo and ... Born on the Idaho-Washington
border in the U.S. I've been everywhere from Bora Bora, Jordan and Kenya to,
well, you name it.
My adventure tales appear in Travelers Tales and Seal Press anthologies, plus the upcoming Rome and Central Italy Adventure Guide. I've interviewed famous foodies from Ruth Reichl and Peter Mayle to the Barefoot Contessa. I'm the former editor/producer of the glorious Underwire, a MSN Website for women that Newsweek called "cheeky, nicely written, fun." The New York Times praised it for "serious sisterhood."
My son shot the photo (above) of me in Rome. We indulged in flattened artichokes, fried zucchini blossoms and spaghetti caccio e pepe with my Italian cousin Marina. We all agree pasta is the perfect dish. Mocha gelato goes down easy. Nutella tastes good with everything.
