Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Karen White

Deborah Kobylt Live

Ever had an idea for a novel but didn’t know where to start? Then please join us in welcoming best-selling author #KarenWhite, who never took a writing course, and didn’t start writing until 10-years post college. Thirty-one books later, with two-million copies sold in 15 languages, she’s glad she took a chance, ditching the world of business for the adventure of writing historical fiction.

Karen grew up in London, in a house full of brothers, and she would fine her peace by reading. She talks about getting lost in books, often fantasizing she was one of the characters in the books.
Karen’s latest novel, “The Shop On Royal Street,” is due out in March.

She’ll be joining us, with a special guest who is a frequent recurring character in her novels. But I’ll keep that as a secret. She also wants to encourage other writers to pick up a pen and write if they have a story in them. No need for formal training, just write. And read. A lot.
Join us on #DeborahKobyltLIVE on all video and audio platforms. And please invite your friends, too.

Life + Art = Chaos, or so says Italian film director, writer, and inventor, Alessio Della Valle, joining us on our #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast.

Alessio is in Los Angeles to talks about his new film, “American Night,” a favorite at the Venice Film Featival and getting early Oscar buzz here in Hollywood. In fact, he’s visiting Los Angeles from Florence to discuss his film, a thriller that explores the dark underworld of pop and modern art.

“American Night” has some extraordinary features, such as an original Warhol “Pink Marilyn,” in addition to a Jeff Koons, and other extraordinary works of art from around the world. We speak with this gifted director about the artistry of filmmaking, how he got his start in Italy, and quickly got notice from around the world, particularly in the U.S.

Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Natosha Fortini

Deborah Kobylt Live, Little Italy of LA

Applying for dual citizenship can be daunting, and on our #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast, we welcome Natosha Fortini, founder of Italian Citizenship DIY, who breaks it all down to make the process easier.

If you’ve ever tried to apply for Italian citizenship, and the rules can seem confusing, depending on when your relative first became a U.S. citizen. And often, people throw up their hands in frustration. But no more. Natosha has streamlined the process, answering every possible question you might have, and providing you with each step so you can get it done on your own, without forking out a fortune to do it. So many questions such as should I go through my maternal or paternal side, does it matter what year my family member became a citizen, etc. The questions seem daunting, until now.

Natosha said her own journey to becoming an Italian citizen was so confusing, that she decided to start Italian Citizenship DIY, providing everything you need to know from agencies here and in Italy, what paperwork is needed, and any other question you might have in an often confusing process, with results.

Please join our show, and invite you ir friends, too. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, thanks for joining us🇮🇹
