The story begins in contemporary France, where a couple of young students are struggling with an archaeological discovery capable of changing their lives and transporting them to places and times that are definitely unexpected. Suitable for adults and children, it consists of nine chapters full of twists, in which the reader actively participates in the unfolding of the affair and the solution of problems.

"Verrà H.P. e avrà i tuoi occhi" is a story of a love that has split. It is the story of the father. It's the story of a game that has no rules, it's the delirium of a sick person. It is a story that does not want to become a novel, but that must be told the same, going back, imagining what could have happened. Imagining all the things that could have happened. Provided that the connection does not fall.

"Chi ha ucciso David Crane?" (2010) is a "possibility" story and it has a single page beginning of the story and a reduced number of end pages. The novel is narrated in the first person by the protagonist, who proposes to the reader from time to time the choices to continue reading of the single story. At the beginning of the story the reader finds himself in a dangerous situation for the protagonist, and immediately he is offered an important choice: continue the current story or remember the previous facts to understand, in a long flashback, the reason why the protagonist he is in that situation. The choice is important from the point of view of the narrative because, in the case you choose to live the current story, it will no longer be possible to go back to reading the flashback (unless you start the novel from the beginning). Vice versa, the choice to read the flashback will allow, at its end, to resume the events "current" and to read the story started on the first page.
