Angel of Time

Alice Ferro did not travel 500 years into the past to save her soulmate from persecution only to discover her journey had been in vain. Forced to return from 1512 Italy to 2029 Boston without him, she cannot focus on family, school, or friends as thoughts of Claudio constantly flood her mind. When she discovers her love’s future is dire, Alice decides she must return to the past to save him once and for all. With some help from her friends and a lot of determination, Alice sets off to rescue Claudio. Unfortunately, she hadn’t planned on things going so terribly wrong, and she soon finds her own life in peril.

Written with charm and intelligence, the sequel to Alice of the Rocks encompasses everything you could want in a young adult, time-travel romance. Adventure, true love, intrigue, and dynamic characters fill the pages alongside the elegant landscape of Renaissance Italy. Order here

MAGENTA

Not only is high school junior Magenta Thorson Rain still struggling with the loss of her mom to cancer, but she must also deal with issues that many other teens must face—high school crushes, awkwardness, and an overprotective parent.
Then there’s Lion, who has his own secrets about Magenta. He knows more about her than he could ever reveal. Lion also sees that Magenta is unwittingly making things happen around her but must keep it secret, as some of his kind may see her as a threat.
Then, on Halloween night, Magenta suffers a massive hemorrhage in her brain. After waking up in the hospital, she begins to see terrifying visions—the hunted women all with flaming red hair just like hers; her mother, who has been dead for years—and the Shadow Man, always in the background, always elusive, but always there.
And if that isn’t enough, everything will change again. And when it does, it changes big. Order here

​

"Another exquisite novel from E. Graziani!
Magenta takes you beyond the boundaries of reality and introduces a world of infinite possibilities. It's a fantastical coming of age story that puts spotlight on the pressures put on the youth, and the high expectations imposed on them when they themselves are still struggling to find out who they are. It celebrates the pleasures and giddiness of young, new love but it also bravely talks about grief, and coming to terms with loss of loved ones." https://princessandpages.com/ Goodreads Reviewer & Blogger

​

"Magenta, our main character was everything!! I loved the mystery of what was going on with her and the journey we took as a reader with her to figure it all out!" Whitney Lowe, Goodreads Reviewer

​

EVERYTHING THAT WAS US

“An evocative story of a love that never ran its course, and, therefore, became unrivaled—the eternal predicament of choice and what could have been. Intense and heart-wrenching. I could not put it down.”

~Lu of Lu Reviews (lureviewsbooks.com @lureviewsbooks)

​

"Where to start! This book had me on a rollercoaster of emotions from the very first page. Escaping to beautiful Italy was exactly what I needed during a cold and miserable January and E. Graziani’s descriptions did not disappoint." Hannah Clarke (@LoveBooksActually)

​

"Everything That Was Us is a beautifully crafted novel between a man on the edge of death, and his lover and the reminiscences of their time together through the span of four decades.
E. Graziani really knows how to grab the reader's attention, whether it be through the gorgeous detailed Italian landscape descriptions or the sweet, delicious twists in the plot." Bookworm.Jules

BREAKING FAITH - a contemporary fiction novel

 

This heart-wrenching look at child and teen mental illness, homelessness, and drug abuse is now available worldwide. Download the book study guide here.

 

'Reminiscent of notable classic titles such as 'Go Ask Alice' and Alice Childress's seminal work, 'A Hero Ain't Nothin' but a Sandwich', Graziani's heartrending novel is a gritty, realistic voyage through a teen's path of despair and the all-too-tempting panacea of self-medication through drugs, which soon destroys those who would "chase the dragon." VERDICT Many older teens will connect with this believable portrait of a teen experience with homelessness and addiction.'
