Hewitt, Gabriella

Gabriella Hewitt is the pen name for two authors: Patrizia M.J. Hayashi and Sasha Tomaszycki.

Patrizia M.J. Hayashi lives on the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan with her husband and three sons. Their Italian/American-Japanese household makes for some interesting cultural bumps. Her addiction to mystery and romance novels ranks right up there with chocolate and she is ever grateful to Amazon for opening a Japan branch, which means she no longer has to wait for that once yearly visit to the U.S. to stock up on books. The sale of their first book represents her dream of being published and she looks forward to a long and successful writing partnership with Sasha, whose imagination takes Patrizia's ideas for murder and mayhem to new levels.

Though she was born and raised in NY State, she's spent most of her adult life overseas, and her parents have since relocated to California. She has a B.A. in Spanish from Grinnell College and an MBA from the University of California at Berkeley, Walter A. Haas School of Business.

Sasha Tomaszycki has been making up stories about vampires, werewolves, fairies and other worldly creatures since she could hold a pencil. Her imagination is as wild as her background, a crazy mix of Cuban, Puerto Rican, Trinidadian, Carib, Indian, English and Chinese. (Unlike Patrizia she can't speak a lick of any of those languages - English included).

A born and bred New Yorker, Sasha resides with her Polish-turned-U.S.-citizen husband and three children. She is a repeat offender of maxing out her library card and can often be found with her nose in a book.

A graduate of Baruch College, she holds a B.B.A. in Marketing. Currently she is attending Hofstra University in pursuit of a MS in Elementary Education. Sasha hopes Patrizia never leaves her because who else would put up with her BIG ideas.
