Dearest readers,
This summer a kind follower wrote me a supportive email and in that message encouraged me to write a memoir about my experiences in Paris, my move over to the city and living here. Little did she know that I was in the process of getting one such a memoir published. After five years of writing and working through the ups and downs of the publishing industry, I am so very pleased to announce the release of my book, Becoming Madame: Reminiscences of a road less taken.
— From the cathartic decision to embrace the frightening monster of change, through to a marriage into a French family four years later, the pages of this memoir aspire to inspire, to stoke a flame within those who may be, as the author was, chained to a path of life they created for themselves years earlier yet to which they now find themselves a slave. Engaging the ever-present allure of Paris, this narrative is spiced with delicious, authentic recipes and humorous anecdotes of the iconic, sometimes hypocritical, and always-seductive mode de vie français. —
It might not be at your local bookstore, so please don’t be shy to ask for it! And feel free, of course, to share the news.
Here’s what the editor said about the book:
— Well-written and FRESH! Writing style easy to read, but compelling; such a positive, uplifting, “happy” read. The descriptions of her travels are so good–almost like the reader could travel there herself with the author. I loved it! —
And if the spirit moves you, a little endorsement on Amazon or Goodreads would be so very appreciated!
With my thanks, and happy reading!!
