Modigliani Novel “Modigliani: Another Portrait” Now Available at Bookstores Worldwide















Hello,

Three months after its initial release, my novel Modigliani: Another Portrait”—the first in a series—has now expanded its distribution globally. Originally available exclusively on Amazon Kindle due to a contract, the eBook is now available at major bookstores around the world following the end of that exclusivity period.

This novel explores an alternate scenario of Amedeo Modigliani’s life, imagining how things might have unfolded if certain real-life events had never occurred. What if his family had remained wealthy? What if he had never suffered from tuberculosis? What if he had stayed away from alcohol and drugs? And what if he had never met Jeanne Hébuterne? Through these "what-if" scenarios, the book reimagines Modigliani's life in a completely different light.

You can now find Modigliani: Another Portrait” at various global retailers. Here are a few links to get you started:
