About the author

I'm a thirty-six year old Brit who was bitten by the French bug while still at school and dreamed of living in France long before I'd tasted my very first croissant. After studying for a Modern Languages degree, I moved to Paris in 1995. Thirteen years later, I'm still here.

I created my blog 'petite anglaise' back in July 2004 while I was working as a bilingual secretary. It was a hobby which was to become my bread and butter when, two years later, my employer found my blog and unceremoniously fired me. I decided not to skulk away with my tail between my legs, but to take them to court for wrongful dismissal. My legal battle attracted the attention of UK newspapers, but also of several publishers. The rest, as they say, is history.

Petite Anglaise is a memoir based on one tumultous year of my life as an expat working mother and blogger in Paris. It's a true story, but one intended to read like a novel.

I'm currently writing my first novel, provisionally titled 'Rendez-Vous' which will be published in the UK in summer 2009.
