Autorenporträt

TREVI FORMEA is the pen-name of Jo-Anna Rose.

She is an Australian 'Baby Boomer' raised in the southern suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, and was born the youngest of four children (refer: A BABY BOOMER - At any age).

In 1966, when 'Trevi' was 15, she won an essay competition which posed the question - 'What would you do if you were cast away on a deserted island with Elvis Presley?' The competition was organized through the then popular but now defunct magazine - EVERYBODY'S.

Not only as their only ace reporter but managing advertising and their paper formatting. Trevi has also had miscellaneous poems and stories published through the island's 'Writer's Circle', as well as various short stories in other popular magazines including 'That's Life' in 2000.

In March 2013, Trevi met a local couple (Dennis and Jeannie) who were new 'indie' authors/writers themselves, and together they introduced her to 'self-publishing' on e-readers, encouraging Trevi to publish her stories through smashwords.com. A whole new world for writing opened up, and Trevi became a die-hard fan of and contributor to, the delights of modern technology.

The 'BLUE LABEL' series are mostly based on Trevi's own life experiences growing up and throughout her life. They can be e...
