Joan Meyerson is an award-winning writer/director/producer of documentaries and television programs for which she won two Writers Guild of America awards. The dramatic accounts she wrote about vets and military families reconfirmed her belief that the best stories come from real life, a belief she has followed in writing. Having told the stories of others, she now tells one of her own. Her first novel, Who Needs Paris, is inspired by the two times she lived in the city of lights and she joined me on Uncorking a Story to talk all about it.
