The Mamma Nero Diaries
The Mamma Nero Diaries is a son’s tribute to his mother, and her unsung journey from poverty-stricken Italy to the cobbled streets of Manchester. The Diaries are full of humorous stories, as seen through a son’s eyes. They describe a life of hardship and sacrifice, but also of courage, principles, humour and hope…
Coming Soon: The Moonstone Knights
The Moonstone knights were once the most revered and feared fighting force in Nalka.
When the golden cities fell to the dark sorcerer Dragorn and his army of myrkle, the knights fled with a precious cargo. They have evaded Dragorn’s forces for over a thousand years, but they now face an impossible decision. They have been discovered, and their youngest knight has been taken.
They must honour their oath to protect the Crow bloodline, yet they cannot leave their friend to face torture and death. Jack is the last remaining descendant of the great sorcerer Praxalon Crow and the last hope for the people of Nalka.
It is time for Jack to discover who he is and what he is capable of… before it is too late.

Preparation for the Italian Cookbook
I’m using my family as Guinea pigs and asking them to taste all the recipes for my Italian Cookbook. They don’t seem to be complaining too much. I am not going to rush this book, because it means a lot to me, so I reckon that it will be ready sometime in the second half of 2022…sign up for updates on the contact page or follow my progress by following me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ADHydeAuthor

About A.D. Hyde, in his own words…
Anthony is a second-generation Italian who grew up on the cobbled streets of Manchester…well…when he says on, he really means close by…in a house. He spent most of his childhood watching Sci-Fi/Fantasy movies and fishing for newts and sticklebacks in the local canal. He dreamt of going to university, meeting and marrying the girl of his dreams, settling down to have a family and living happily ever after…and of course becoming an astronaut with magical powers.
