Dear friends around the world,

A Literary Journey Through Passion and Power Years ago, my story featuring Maximilian Edward Grant saw the light of day thanks to Sovera Edizioni. That was the first chapter of the “Beloved and Hated” series—an adventure that began in California in 2011, aiming to explore the tangled inner world of a powerful man. Maximilian is ambitious and, at times, ruthless. Yet he’s also deeply human and empathetic, swept up in intense, even dangerous relationships—with Alicia and Florence, among others.

From the Seed of Wisteria to New Life In truth, the earliest version of this saga was born from my first novels Wisteria and Wisteria 2, published by Editrice Nuovi Autori in Milan—memories I will forever cherish. Today, I’ve reimagined that story and brought it back to life through self-publishing on Amazon, available both in print and Kindle format.

The Artistic Vision of Nicola Paulillo The talented artist Nicola Paulillo immersed himself in Maximilian’s world and shared a thoughtful review of my work. I’m honored to present his perspective on this complex character and the universe he inhabits.

A Heartfelt Thanks to Nicola Paulillo for His Beautiful Review!

Maximilian Edward Grant: A Portrait of Emotional Extremes Maximilian Edward Grant—a name that might seem ordinary, but in Patrizia Riello Pera’s powerful new novel, it resounds with drama. A protagonist who can be both adored and despised, admired and condemned. A man who makes headlines for all the right—and wrong—reasons. Cold, calculating, and ambitious in the boardroom; fiery, passionate, and uncontrollable in love.

Will Maximilian manage to balance these two extremes within him? Or will one side ultimately destroy the other? Find out in Beloved and Hated – Act One, the latest novel by the ever-creative Patrizia Riello Pera.
