The origins of the Royal Game go back centuries. And throughout its diverse and multi-faceted history, controversies and mysteries have arisen. Some have been resolved; many have not.

Lenny Cavallaro is a “Renaissance man” steeped in the classics: Greek tragedy, Shakespearean drama, and classical music. He has also boxed, earned a third-degree black belt in karate, run marathons, won chess tournaments, and practiced hypnosis and reiki professionally.
Cavallaro’s earlier fiction includes TROJAN DIALOGUES; THE MEMOIRS OF DIOMEDES and THE GREATEST CHAMPION WHO NEVER WAS. His interests in Shakespeare and Sophocles spawned TWO OEDIPAL PLAYS—the one-act HAMLET, REVISITED and ODYSSEUS ACANTHOPLEX, a restoration of fragments by the great Greek tragedian.
In 2022, White Bird Publications released the first two volumes of THE PASSION OF ELENA BIANCHI, and (following the publisher’s demise) the author has since uploaded the last pair. SHERLOCK HOLMES… was released by Russell Enterprises in 2022 and was followed by a Jewish-paranormal novella, THE IBBUR’S TALE (2023) and SIMONE (2024). Cavallaro also “edited and revised” PAGANINI AGITATO, a novel by Ann Abelson (Fomite Press, 2023).
An accomplished pianist and composer, Cavallaro performed Bach’s Six Partitas to the highest critical acclaim in Carnegie Recital Hall and achieved even more recognition as a composer. In 2015, he wrote a conjectural “completion” of Contrapunctus XIV from Bach’s unfinished masterpiece, THE ART OF THE FUGUE.
