Hello, my name is Fabio Tagliasacchi. As a professor of mathematics, I spend my days immersed in a world of numbers, equations, and confused college students. But when the academic day ends, and I am not busy shopping with my wife, Rita, or enjoying my children and grandchildren, my creative mind takes over, and I put on my cape as an independent author. I have built a collection of excellent novels, if I say so myself. I assure you each one has been a grand journey that has given me great pleasure to write.
Hitting the Wall
You'd think a math professor would have a foolproof formula for writing a novel. Detailed outlines, copious notes, and bullet-point subtopics, followed by endless rewrites and edits for annoying grammar rules and autocorrect errors. While some of this might be true for all writers, in my case the process is usually interrupted by circumstances out of my control. My writing experience can best be described as a frantic race against an invisible wall. You see, the dreaded writer's block isn't just a myth; it's a very real and very maddening phenomenon. It's like your brain suddenly decides to become a desolate wasteland, devoid of all creative life. One moment you're a literary genius, the next you're staring at a blank page, wondering if you'll ever string two coherent sentences together again. It's a humbling experience, to say the least.
A Whimsical Approach
When I'm deep into writing the next installment of my Ghost Commando or Mark Diamond series and the muse decides to pack her bags and head out for an extended vacation, I have a unique coping mechanism. While others might turn to a self-destructive binge of mind-altering substances or a new physical obsession . . . like setting up a permanent residence in a local gym . . . I opt for a much more practical and, frankly, fun approach. I simply hop from one book to another. Which in turn means that I have two, sometimes three, books in the works at various stages at all times.
This is how I ended up writing a military thriller series (Ghost Commando), a children’s fantasy (Kentucky Greens), a divine fantasy with angels and cowboys (Whispers), an adventure series (Mark Diamond), a fictional biography of my family (Immigrant), and, most recently, a horror anthology of short stories (Nightmares).
Some might call this erratic and chaotic, but for me, it’s a strategy. By jumping between different genres and themes, I keep my mind in a constant state of creative churn. The change of pace and topic is often all it takes to reignite my inspiration, brings the muse out of hibernation, and keep my keyboard humming.
Plus, it has the added benefit of keeping me out of a whole lot of trouble!
Whichever of my novels you end up reading, know that it is your pleasure in doing so that drives me.
PS Thank you for supporting me. Fabio
