News & Events

July 2025. So proud to announce that my latest book, co-authored with Petie Kladstrup, will be available in July 2025 thanks to our wonderful publisher, Peter Joseph from Hanover Square Press (HarperCollins), and his associate editor, the Francophile Grace Towery. 

May 16th-17th, 2024.  Back again to the annual conference of BIO! It was fascinating and we learned so much listening to Janice T. Namura or Stacy Schiff. I look forward to our 2025 Conference!

May 19th-21st, 2023. As a member of BIO (Biographers International Organization), I listened to the bright keynotes during  our annual conference. Learn more on our web site.

April 1st, 2023 - Book Fair of Bordeaux, France. I interviewed Annabel Abbs, British author of Miss Eliza's Bristish Kitchen. Eliza Acton was the first woman author of a cookbook. She invented the list of ingredients for a recipe that seems so obvious to 21st Century cooks. Avid walker, Annabel just published a new fascinating book, Windswept: Why Women Walk. If you're a woman and a hiker, this book is for you.

The same day and at the same place, I interviewed Tess Gunty, the young and brilliant American author of The Rabbit Hutch, a National Book Award winner. A nice fantasy about people living in this rabbit hutch: an online obituary writer, a young mother scared by the eyes of her new born son, a woman waging a solo campaign against rodents in the once bustling industrial center of Vacca Vale, Indiana.
