Goodreads Author


Born
Paris, France
Genre

Member Since
December 2014


Claire lived in Paris until the age of 25, when she decided one day that enough was enough and moved to the UK.
She misses French food and the nice way of life but not the public transport strikes and the pervading sexism of French society.
During the day, she works as a French teacher and personal trainer. At night, she moonlights as a writer.
She has been keeping a family record of funny anecdotes ever since she was a teenager and most of them can be found in That's What Women Do, her debut book, which she wrote while doing hundreds of other things, like doing her house up and bringing up a teenager.

To my Faithful Troll

Dear Troll,

“Following this logic, the millions of people who perished during epidemics of influenza in the early twentieth century should have really pulled themselves together, instead of making all this fuss and dying in the most inconsiderate manner.”
Claire D. Simone, That's What Women Do: A Feminist Manifesto

“Melody began to mumble incomprehensibly under her breath as she worked frantically on securing her most important papers into bankers boxes.
Her father stomped into her room, eating a banana.
Melody looked up at him with a sweaty and nauseated look on her face. “What are you tramping around so heavily about?” she asked him.
Bernie finished the last of the banana, and then held the peel in his hand as though it were a washcloth he had just found on the floor of a gym locker room.
Melody pointed to her trashcan with her eyes.
“I make an insane amount of noise when I approach you, because you once yelled at me claiming that I was 'sneaking up on you',” Bernie replied, using finger quotes on the last phrase. “That kind of treatment stays with a guy.”
Melody shook her head. Her father knew how much she hated finger quotes. Why he insisted on using them was beyond her. “I was five at the time”, she said.
“Ah,” Bernie said, with a knowing grin on his face. “The angry period.”
B.M.B. Johnson, Melody Jackson v. the Hound from Hell It happened on Lafayette Street Season One

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.”
Jim Henson
