Luigi Kohli is an award-winning author, born in London in 1965 to an Italian mother and Indian father. He grew up in a household full of stories, with his grandparents having lived as adults through two of the world’s most turbulent events: WWII and the partition of India. A lover of books and the movie epics of the 50’s and 60’s, he was struck by one story in particular. Ben-Hur: A Tale Of The Christ (written by Lew Wallace).

During a successful period of running his own company, in 1991 he met his future wife, Hilda. It was a time of turmoil in Lebanon, a land that was to become a source of inspiration for his ambition as yet unfulfilled – to take on the challenge of continuing where Lew Wallace closed his story.

During the next 27 years he and Hilda had two children, a daughter and a son, and he focussed on a career in marketing. However, in 2022 he finally left the corporate world to turn his attention to his dream, his debut novel a historical fiction he had wanted to write since his teens. A story that is ALETHEIA.

Aletheia blends prophecy, betrayal, love and a thirst for power at the height of Imperial Rome into a tale of destiny. As hidden forces shape the fate of a rising empire, unlikely heroes emerge — bound by one man’s vision. No matter the vengeance or the course of personal ambition, there is no escaping the truth. A truth that will shape the history of the known world.

Matt Wakefield is a British television writer and novelist. Between 2012 and 2024, he was one of the core writers on the BBC drama Doctors, contributing 70 episodes. Coming Attractions, published in April 2026, is his debut novel, inspired in part by his childhood experiences of making short films on Super 8.

Set in the mid-1980s, the novel follows thirteen-year-old Will Sheridan, who builds a cinema in his bedroom using a Super 8 projector and abridged Hollywood reels. When his father gives him a camera, Will sets out to make a three-minute vampire movie, only to discover that life is far harder to direct than a film.

Witty, bittersweet and sharply observed, Coming Attractions is a coming-of-age story about first love, friendship, family and the consolations of cinema – and about the painful gap between the reassuring worlds we create for ourselves and the complexities of real life.

The novel has received an enthusiastic response from early readers, earning five-star Amazon reviews that praise its humour, emotional depth and evocative portrayal of growing up in the 1980s.
