Soy australiana. Nunca había visto una marmota antes de mudarme a Francia. Un verano trabajé en un centro de vacaciones y parte de mi trabajo consistía en llevar a los niños de excursión. Salimos en busca de marmotas. Por supuesto, hacíamos demasiado ruido y las marmotas desaparecían en sus túneles subterráneos, pero a veces teníamos suerte y podíamos hacer fotos. Creo que sus hogares subterráneos inspiraron mi imaginación y, antes de darme cuenta, ¡tenía toda una novela en la cabeza!

Comedy, light romance, culture and travel story all in one. It's for anyone who's had one of those relationships where you thought, 'Not sure what I was thinking there. Why do I do the things I do? When will I learn?'First things first, this is not a lesbian book. Well, it is, but it isn't.Here's the blurb:Mica is slow to learn about relationships. She gets it so wrong all the time. Why would you think you're gay, when you are clearly not gay? Who does this?! Mica does. 'Your life is like one, long, European summer vacation!' her friends said.This is true. Mica does spend a lot of time relocating and living in fun places.London in the UK.Nice in the South of France.Sydney in Australia.Fun, fun, fun.More energy spent relocating means less energy spent looking inward.

Always been single.She wonders if she might be gay and she drinks her way into a gay relationship, then decides she isn't gay. But, she doesn't know how to end it. It's tricky. (It's not). Solution? Move to the South of France! Hurrah! Beach, baguettes, wine. Très bien, non ? No. The girlfriend follows.

Let's ride this out.'All the time, Mica hides her 'girl friend' from her Central American black magic family because she's scared of being judged. They do find out when she's back in Australia however, and the results are surprising.It is a long and very bumpy road towards self-acceptance for this 35-year old overthinking, overcomplicating, single woman! When is she going to get out of her own head, and get her man?!The struggle is real. A funny and descriptive self-acceptance journey across England, France, and Australia.Warning: The author uses vivid descriptions.

My Frenchie Diary. Short Stories about flirting in France!¿¿¿¿¿¿¿We know when a guy is trying to impress us. We feel it.And, if we're in a different country?Same. Body language is body language, right? But, what about the flirting. Is it any different?Yes. Sort of. Perhaps. Australian author Paris Connolly has been living in France for over 7 years. In her experience, men take a lot more chances on the street in France. And, they are comfortable using flowery language. Just the other day, as she was strolling along the esplanade, a guy in his thirties cycled by and slowed down. She thought he was going to ask for directions, but he said with a smile, 'Excuse me, I'm looking for a beautiful woman wearing a white top. Would you happen to have seen her?' This wasn't some loser or creep. This was a normal, nice-looking, sporty, happy, kept-his-distance guy. Using this sweetie-cutie language!Here we have 40 short stories of one woman's daily French life involving different flirty approaches. Funny Frenchie diary entries, if you will. Told from 40-year-old (ish) eyes. It's Travel Memoir meets Comedy, meets Clean Romance.Note: No kissing, no sex. Just lots of flirty, feelgood moments with guys of all ages, single and married (c'est la vie!), in different cities, and during the author's different jobs, like ski school receptionist, language teacher, and comedian.Note 2: This book uses British spelling.Note 3: No married men were harmed in the writing of this memoir..For lovers of Romance, French daily life, and French men!Question for the author:Which is my favourite Frenchie flirt? Very hard to choose. I shall say, The Overachiever. I reserve the right to change my mind at any time, of course, but just thinking about that man makes me smile. And you? A favourite?

My Frenchie Diary! Short stories about eating in France.Dinner party, my place, with four French friends. For once, I am confident with my French, and as I bring out my cheeseboard, I say, 'Voila ! LE FROMAGE !'They look at the cheese. 'Non, non, non ! It's not LE FROMAGE.' They lean closer to the board. 'It's La Tomme, L'Abondance, Le Beaufort, and Le Roquefort.'Ah. Yes. We're in France. Must be specific. (She hangs her uncultured head.)Writer Paris Connolly has been living in France for a decade. Here are 40 short stories about everyday food events like cheap and cheerful picnics, dinners at friends' houses, and village celebrations. The stories are not about which cheese is the best, how to eat snails, or how to select the best baguette. Rather, they're funny stories about an Australian author (who spent her childhood shopping for food in fluorescent-lit supermarkets) and her observations about the all the facets that go into French dining.Paris has spent a lot of time in the French Alps in the Savoie region, so there are a lot of stories about mountain living as well as stories from big cities like Paris.These anecdotes are the author's own personal experiences. She's not saying ALL French people eat like this, or do this, or do that. The stories (diary entries if you will) are light, fun, playful observations, and written by someone who loves and respects France.A light and easy-to-read travel and food memoir. An insight into everyday life in France.This book will appeal to those who have lived in other countries and experienced funny food culture differences, and also to those who are interested in daily French life. Oui !Warning: A lot of the stories involve meat and animal products (like foie gras). And, although none of the stories are explicit, there are references to eating animals that are not the usual cow, pig, and chicken. Also, the word saucisson seems to be the main character of the book but that was not intentional.The book has British spelling, and includes some swearing and Oh My Gods.Author Quote'I love food. I will eat all food. At least, that's what I thought before moving to France. I've got some limits.''Do I cook? Well, I didn't use to, but now, I live in France, that's changed. I certainly don't turn up to friends' houses with stuff I bought in the supermarket anymore. All homemade, bien sûr !'
