Wonderful work, Rita. I know you've told a story here worthy of visibility in the larger literary world. This is just an amazing discovery! A keying error like this was meant to be! This story needs to be a screenplay and told in cinema. I know you are writing the screenplay and I wish you every bit of success with Painting The Invisible Man. For marketing purposes, you made the right choice to categorize this as contemporary historical fiction. This choice not only afforded you growth in your womanhood, but growth in the understanding of familial ties and how those choices affect us all throughout life. It takes a strong will to quill something this up-close and personal into literary excellence. All the best to you Ms. Schiano.
Warmly,
Sage

I just finished reading Painting the Invisible Man by Rita Schiano. I need to say upfront that I know Rita, and that this post is an unadulterated pimp for her extraordinary book.
Rita tells the story of her bizarre childhood growing up in an Italian family with an operatic mother and a father in the Mob. She has moved the location to Rhode Island, but the (true) story took place in Syracuse. Imagine at age 10 being so frightened of being kidnapped and killed by an enemy of your father (something that happened to a peer) that you go to a toy store and buy a toy luger that shoots rubber bullets and a shoulder holster! Rita makes you feel like you're there. Turn off the TV and read the book!

"If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went," wrote Will Rogers.
So do I, and as a life-long dog lover, I loved this piece.

Good info, Rita, especially the "be factual, not promotional." I didn't expect that. Terry

This is just an amazing discovery! I read this on your bio when you joined at the first of this month when you became an AD member. A keying error like this was meant to be! I think this story needs to be a screenplay and told in cinema. I love the book cover for Painting the Invisible Man. You made the right choice to write this as contemporary historical fiction, Rita...I wish you the best for this book especially, and of course your other book Sweet Bitter Love. Always a pleasure to read you...be well.
Warmly,
Sage

Such "comments" are worthless and should be ignored. Rude, bitter, useless words and a stalking attitude have become known to all on this site by now.
The hidden loneliness and pain of women, under the mask of grace is sometimes a condition that changes, quite miraculously, as you expressed.

Your poem is very good shows an emotional suffering of a woman which touches the heart of the reader

Good day Rita, I read your poem, "Inside a Woman's Heart" I found it ever so true. It took me until middle age before I could have the littlest of understanding of how a woman's heart works. And yes...women are remarkable. Best of luck with your writing. Please feel free to check out my work at either www.freewebs.com/kendoo or here in the "den"

I tend to ramble about in here, looking for gems of verse and I found one in this piece of yours. I love the composition of this, strong evocative words beginning each line...the vivid imagery and lovely theme. Excellent work.

Rita, this is really good stuff. You seem very talented to write poetry, so why isn't there more?
