Author Note

I have a secret: Venice wasn’t supposed to be Nolan’s story. All through my planning of the mini-series it was supposed to be Brennan’s. But when the gentlemen arrived it didn’t work out that way. It didn’t take long to see that Venice suited Nolan much better—the parties, the card games, and the dark edge that haunts the periphery of Carnevale.

For the background to Nolan’s story I read John Ruskin’s original journals on Venice from his visit in the 1840s. They are fascinating and eerily predictive of Venice’s fate. I also consulted John Julius Norwich’s A History of Venice, for those of you looking to do some reading on the city.

I was fortunate enough to stop in Venice the summer before writing Nolan’s story, to reacquaint myself with the beautiful city. Many of you write and tell me you like to ‘travel’ in my stories when you can’t get out and travel yourself, so this one’s for you. Whether you’ve been to Venice in person, or in your dreams, I hope you enjoy Nolan’s Venetian vacation.
