I live by falling in love. I fall in love with books, I fall in love with authors, I fall in love with subjects. But my true love (the one who should kiss me if I'm ever deep in an enchanted sleep) are words. I llike to listen to stories and I like to listen to gossip. I like it when people explain the secrets of how the world works. I like to imagine others' lives.

I read because I love possibilities and I write to make sense of the world and I translate when I have fallen madly in love with what I've read.

I have a PhD in literature and film, I'm a Shakespeare specialist, and I write historical novels. I also make history podcasts, read adventure novels, defend the honor of Alexandre Dumas, and have fallen in love with India.
