GIVEAWAY!

My guest this week is award-winning, bestselling author Margaret Porter. Margaret’s fifteenth book, “The Myrtle Wand,” is a reimagined continuation of the famous ballet Giselle, set in 17th-century France and the court of Louis XIV. Her writing is lush and vivid and weaves together characters, both historic and fictional, into a compelling tale of love, heartrbreak, friendship, piety, royalty, and the supernatural.

In our conversation, Margaret reveals what she learned about the orginal Giselle that inspired her to put pen to paper, what intrigued her about a teenage Louis XIV, how she blended historical fact with her own imaginings, and so much more.

Margaret has also generously offered to give away an autographed copy of “The Myrtle Wand” to one lucky listener. You can enter in three easy steps: 1) go to the parisundergroundradio.com website and sign up for our newsletter, 2) like the @ParisUndergroundRadio instagram page, and 3) tag a friend who may also be interested in winning.

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!
