Welcome to the website of Tina Pisco

Best-selling author Tina Pisco has worked as a professional writer for over twenty-five years, writing for every medium except radio (including internet drama). Her most recent commission is for a series of web and print comics.

Her two best-selling novels: “Only a Paper Moon” (Poolbeg 1998), and “Catch the Magpie” (Poolbeg 1999), have been translated into five different languages.
