Margo Lestz is American by birth but now divides her time between London, England and Nice, France (with a little bit of Florence, Italy thrown in for good measure). Life in a foreign country is never dull and every day is a new learning experience.

She describes herself as a perpetual student and is always taking some kind of course or researching a moment in history that has caught her fancy. She’s curious by nature and always wondering who, what, why, when, where, and how.

Margo shares her adventures (and her questions) with Jeff, her husband of many years. She enjoys travel, history, observing cultures and traditions – and then writing about them, of course.

The best advice for aspiring writers is to stop aspiring and start writing. You are a writer only if you write.

Many people are stopped because their first attempts are rubbish. But it's the same for most of us. You have to get the bad writing out of the way before the good writing shows up. The most important thing is to get something down on paper. You can always revise it later.(less)
