It signals a remarkable change of course for Dino Costi, who in the past few years has worked as a doorman on some of Liverpool’s busiest bars and nightclubs. After securing work as a freelance writer, Costi decided to pursue his life-long dream of becoming a novelist, and has succeeded in having his debut work published.

Venus Lionheart: The Witch And The God is a magical fantasy adventure for children and young adults and has been dubbed as the female Harry Potter meets The Da Vinci Code. It follows twelve-year-old Venus, as she learns from the mysterious Galahad that she is a powerful witch, who is destined to shake the foundations of the Catholic Church. With only her loyal friends to help her, she must escape the clutches of the menacing ‘Son of God’ and save the world.
