My guest this week is New York Times Bestselling author Juliet Blackwell. Juliet is a prolific writer. She’s written three mystery series, including the Agatha Award nominated Art Lover’s Mystery series, as well as six novels set in France. Her latest novel, The Paris Showroom, is the story of an estranged mother and daughter, set to the backdrop of 1944 Paris. We follow mom Capucine as she’s taken to a little-known prison camp in the heart of Paris, and daugher Mathilde as she slowly opens her eyes to who she is and what’s happening in the world around her.

In our conversation, Juliet discusses how she learned about the prison camps inside Paris under Nazi occupation, how her characters’ arcs mirror the world we currently live in, and how subtlety can be more effective than a bullhorn. Then, she treats us to a reading from “The Paris Showroom.”

About Us
Since well before Victor Hugo looked up at Notre Dame and thought, "Huh... what if a hunchback lived in there?" authors have been inspired by Paris. The Storytime in Paris podcast will help keep this tradition alive with short interviews and readings from your favorite contemporary authors with a French connection.
 
Every episode will feature five questions, asked by you, our authors' biggest fans, and answered live on air. Then, our authors will treat us to a reading of an excerpt from their book. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be inspired to write your own Great French Novel. Happy listening!
