... MICHAEL DI GESU ... ... ... In Time ... ...

Creativity is a terrible thing to waste.

Although creative writing is important to all who seek this blog, I would also like to share with you other creative outlets such as art, design, and music. Without them, there would be no inspiration for our writing.

About Me

Michael Di Gesu: After fifteen years of modeling in New York, I spent the past fourteen years as an interior designer in Chicago. In 2009, I decided to take my creative talents further and write and illustrate my first MG novel, Amber and the Whispering Willows. A year later, I wrote The Blinded Gardener, an edgy y/a contemporary. Writing has taken me to a new freelance career as a creative editor and book cover designer. I write blurbs for many talented writers and I throughly enjoy creating atmosphere and intrigue for them through words. I never knew how wonderful it could be to write ... I'm addicted.
