Xeno della Sforza
Author
Street Philosophy of Athens is the story of a writer who returns to the city of his birth with a severe case of amnesia. In the course of discovering his true identity, he is put through the same immigration scheme that initially took him from the city of his birth, and quickly finds himself engulfed in the underworld of Athenian crime. Nothing is as it appears to be, as the story unfolds in a series of urban vignettes, and gritty, violent macabre. As he becomes aware of what is going on within the criminal networks that infest the city, he also discovers the meaning of humanity within the City of the Goddess that he loves and remembers only too well.

Kevin B. DiBacco is a bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, and former USAF Security Forces veteran whose life story is as bold and inspiring as the pages of his books. With eight traditional publishing deals and numerous bestsellers recognized by Ingram Content Group, Kevin has earned a reputation for delivering books that empower, educate, and energize.
Over a 37-year filmmaking career, his work was featured at world-renowned festivals including Sundance and Cannes, and distributed globally through five international deals. But Kevin’s greatest battle came off-camera: a life-threatening brain surgery followed by a grueling three-year recovery. Rather than surrender, he embodied his “Life Warrior” mindset—rebuilding his health, shedding 60 pounds at age 62, and returning with renewed purpose.
Kevin’s journey is marked by extraordinary resilience. He has endured six knee surgeries, two major back operations, two hip replacements, radiation treatment, and the emotional weight of clinical depression. From these trials, he forged a message of hope, transformation, and unstoppable perseverance
Michael Bianco
Author
Michael Bianco has spent a lifetime navigating the edge between science and the unknown. Born in Italy, raised in Quebec, and now living on Florida’s Gulf Coast, he’s traveled to over sixty countries, worked across continents, and built a successful engineering firm before stepping into the shadows of fiction.
Fluent in three languages and the holder of six international patents, Bianco is no stranger to puzzles or innovation. A lifelong fan of speculative fiction and classic thrillers, his influences range from Asimov and Clarke to Ludlum, Lustbader, and Dan Brown. This, his debut novel, fuses scientific realism with pulse-pounding intrigue—a story born from decades of experience, curiosity, and an eye toward what lies just beneath the surface.
When not unraveling conspiracies on the page, he enjoys photography, cooking, and golfing badly. He’s still chasing the perfect shot—on the course and through the lens.
