Thank you for visiting my author’s page! I grew up in France near Geneva, Switzerland. I now live in Vancouver, BC, with my husband, and regularly visit family and friends in California and France.As a young teenager penning expressive letters to my best friend’s father, in a long-term care facility, I was told I should become a writer. Instead, I studied foreign languages. Later, attending university in the U.S. revived my passion for writing. After a B.A. in International Studies (emphasis on international organizations and law) I received a diploma for a two-year distance learning course with the London School of Journalism. I then wrote for digital and print publications. Since Biography of a Friendship is my first book, it has become part of my bio. The story is a combination of Kristin Hannah’s novel Firefly Lane and Ann Patchett’s memoir Truth and Beauty. It’s emotional and unapologetic. I wrote the book as a promise to my friend suddenly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Because it would help two friends like us. Because her life was more than about her illness. The journey revived the colorful stories of my friend’s life and of our friendship. Biography of a Friendship is a hybrid memoir; it will take you to unexpected ‘places.’ Some readers ‘didn’t want the book to end.’ Others found it ‘informative while still telling the captivating story of a friendship.’ Most importantly, some said it ‘helped them.’ If you are drawn to the friendship angle, you will identify with the story of a long female friendship because it is a contemporary, universal theme.If you are interested in the pancreatic cancer angle, I hope my experience in supporting my friend will help you support a loved one battling any type of cancer. Finally, if you read Biography of a Friendship, I would be grateful if you wrote even a short review. Include the title and author’s name, then share what you would tell a friend. ‘Treasure your friends!’ (My note when signing a book). Read more about this authorRead less about this author
