My guest this week is Jaclyn Goldis, a former lawyer who gave it all up to travel the world and write novels. Her latest book, “The Chateau,” published by Simon & Schuster, is a mystery/thriller set in a chateau in Provence. What begins as a celebratory reunion for a group of old friends, soon devolves into “deadly nightmare of secrets and murder.”

“The Chateau” is a deeply atmospheric and twisty page-turner that will keep you happily guessing until the very last page. In our conversation, Jaclyn shares how she crafted the secrets and relationships that keep you hooked, and the challenges that go along with them. Then, she treats us to a reading from her book.

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!

My guest this week is the illustrious Chelsea Fagan. Chelsea is an author and the founder and CEO of The Financial Diet, the largest women's personal finance media company. You may know her written work from her numerous non-fiction books or her pieces in publications like The Atlantic, VICE and Cosmpolitan, but we’re here to talk about Chelsea’s steamy fiction debut: “A Perfect Vintage.”

Lea is an industrious American charged with overseeing the renovation of a chateau in the Loire Valley. Her meticulous plans start to go awry the moment her best friends invites herself along, but the story really kicks up once Lea meets the much-younger son of the boss. “A Perfect Vintage” doesn’t shy away from real world issues or a sexy, sultry love scene.

In our conversation, Chelsea reveals what drew her to the romance genre, how she broke with stereotype, what it was like to craft a love scene, and so much more. Then, she treats us to a reading from her book.

My guest this week is journalist and author Joel Warner, whose latest book The Curse of the Marquis de Sade recounts the true story of how the Marquis de Sade’s book 120 Days of Sodom landed at the heart of one of the biggest scams in modern literary history in a French Ponzi scheme. Joel’s book is incredibly well-researched and weaves together tales from the Marquis’s life, the adventures of the scroll 120 Days of Sodom was written on, and the world of letter and manuscript collecting.

Was the Marquis de Sade a revolutionary, a radical philosopher, a proto-feminist, or an unrepentant criminal? Was 120 Days of Sodom “one of the most important novels ever written” or “the gospel of evil?” In our conversation, Joel answers these questions, and so many more. Then, he treats us to a reading from his book.

My guest this week is Edward Chisholm whose debut novel “A Waiter in Paris: Adventures in the Dark Heart of the City” has received international recognition. It was named Book of the Week by the Daily Mail and one of the Best Books of 2022 by the New York Post. “A Waiter in Paris” is based on Edward’s time as, well, a waiter in Paris, a job he threw himself into when he found himself alone, nearly penniless, and speaking only the most rudimentary French. It’s a look into the seedy underbelly of a city so often viewed through rose-colored glasses.

In our conversation, Edward discusses heightened senses, friends and foes in the waiting staff, whether Parisian waiters are rude on purpose, and so much more. Then, he treats us to a reading from “A Waiter in Paris: Adventures in the Dark Heart of the City.”
