Dear Gentle Readers,
The Baslicato is special to me because part of the story is set in Basilicato Province, Italy, where my wonderful father was born. Even though he came to this country as a child, he had vivid memories of the countryside, the vineyards, and the strong sense of family and community spirit in that area of southern Italy.
Now, my dad was never a race car driver, but he did drive really, really fast. He did have a few characteristics of the wild and crazy race car driver in the story, but the story is not biographical.
Here is the storyline:
When Dr. Brook Wilson agreed to take on celebrity Italian race car driver Jason Maxwell, known as"The Baslicato," as her patient, little did she realize their relationship would turn her calm, pleasant, well-ordered life upside down, sending her off on dangerous adventures in southern Italy and northern Ohio. As she prepares him for his big race, she must deal with his demented wife while driving her boyfriend, Dr, Garrett MacEgan into acts of criminal desperation in a attempt to hold on to her.
When tall, handsome British actor Richard MacKenzie wakes up in the hospital after an accident, he discovers he's a short Italian race car driver named Jason Maxwell, known as THE BASLICATO.
