Enzo Silvestri, the Italian/Australian author of Thief in the Night, has spent much of his life traveling the world. He says, "No experience is wasted." He was 'bitten' by the travel bug', he says, while on a short trip to his birthplace in Italy as a 26 year old. That was followed by an extended sojourn on a kibbutz in Israel, where he added Hebrew and Spanish to his knowledge of Italian and English. On returning to Australia, he drove a taxi for a living, and eventually ended up at Christian Heritage College, studying for a Bachelor of Arts in Literature, with an emphasis in Biblical Literature. After studying Children's Literature, he turned his hand to writing, and wrote the Tsami & Tsado trilogy. He then completed a B.Ed in Italian & English and an MA in Applied Linguistics at the University of Queensland. He has published three volumes of poetry, and a trilogy of eschatological novels, The Fig Tree, Rock of Ages and Thief in the Night. Enzo has taught at various colleges and universities in Florida and North Carolina, and currently teaches at a community college and a high school in North Carolina. See less
