Gioia Albano - Soul roadmaps and alternative universes
I'm working on three main project
"The scarred angel" is one of them. Book 1 of the Ashley Knox trilogy.
This beautiful scarred young woman came visit me in 2023 and she lives rent free in my head since. Said that I have to write her story, and in English, please.
You don't argue with her.
The story evolves around drugs cartels, social issues and spirituality (yep, all of it!)
"Outlaw Ashley Knox and wanna-be journalist Amy Salinas investigate what's going on about the so called "Brina Project" along the US/Mexican border. The Drug Lords from cartels aren't happy with the two women interfering in their business."
While I'm working on this you can read one shot originals and fanfictions here on Archive of Your Own (AO3) alias Enora_Wings
"The Raw Book of Women in Art" is a joined project with artist and friend Cristina Cerminara.
The aim is to share women artists interviews about what's really like being a woman and an artist in every day life.
A bonus would be coming up with ideas and solutions and inspiring one another to create further projects.
We want something raw, not sugar-coated, about what our real life is as artists and women. Because this is how it feels in everyday life : RAW.
Most of all : We want to end with hope in our hands.

We want to know about other women artists that might feel like they’re performing an obstacle course race and what they’ve to share about it.
The goal with this book project is very humble : crying if necessary. Having a laugh will be great too, definetely achieving to feel less alone.A bonus would be coming up with ideas and solutions and inspiring one another to create further projects.

Every woman artist has the right to say her piece and it doesn’t matter where you stand in your art journey.
You might know these interactive children’s book where the reader is the hero (originally inspired by role-playing games)
Readers are empowered to actively influence and interact which leads to multiples stories/possibilities.
With exactly the same spirit this will be a therapy book where the Heros Readers Players will make choices.
And because everything happens for a reason they might realise few things about themselves and how to overcame and achieve their own inner revolution.
This projects runs in French for now.*****
Vous connaissez peut-être ces livres interactifs pour enfants dont le lecteur est le héros (inspirés à l'origine par les jeux de rôle)
Les lecteurs sont habilités à influencer et à interagir activement, ce qui conduit à de multiples histoires/possibilités.
Avec exactement le même esprit, ça sera un livre thérapie où les joueurs vont faire des choix. Et parcele hasard n'existe pas ils pourront acceder à des comprensions sur eux-mêmes et peut-être avancer dans leur propre révolution intérieure.
