Paris, He Said, (Bloomsbury USA, May 2015 & Bloomsbury UK, Oct. 2015) is a novel set mostly in contemporary Paris, and focuses on a woman in her early 30s who accepts the invitation of an older man who offers her time and financial support to live with him in Paris and work as an artist. Her fourth book, the story collection, The Virginity of Famous Men, will be out in September 2016 from Bloomsbury. I interviewed Christine Sneed for my first podcast, which was exciting for both of us. Andy Stitt, of Deliberate Media Solutions, was the podcast editor.
