Coming SOON Paris in Love, Eloisa's memoir from her year in Paris -- a collection of sometimes-funny, sometimes-poignant reflections of life avec la famille via the short Facebook status update format (and the occasionally slightly longer observation) will be available in early-April. This is not a romance novel -- it's a completely new type of book for Eloisa where the main character is Eloisa herself! Eloisa invites you to visit ParisInLoveBook.com Paris in Love is divided between charming, small snippets and longer essays about everything from French fashion to French food (with a recipe or two!) -- and follows the seasons of the year Eloisa and her family spent in Paris. Currently, the excerpt at ParisInLoveBook.com is from A PARISIAN FALL. In February, we'll post a selection from WINTER. And you guessed it, come spring when the book releases, we'll post an excerpt from SPRING. "I absolutely loved it." ~Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love 
As an added treat, after you pre-order your own copy, should you wish to pre-order Paris in Love for someone on your gift list, Eloisa has created four delightful cards (card number 3 is pictured at right) for you to slip into a stocking or the post -- and make one would-be Parisian a very happy reader! Be sure to be subscribed to at least one of Eloisa's news sources: Newsletter, Newsflash, Facebook, Twitter for updates and release day reminders.
Look forward to another of Eloisa's fairy tales: The Ugly Duchess is based on the Hans Christian Andersen story entitled The Ugly Duckling. If you remember the story, it’s about a duckling who is teased and pecked by everyone in the barnyard because he is ugly…until he transforms into a swan and then everyone says he’s the most elegant and beautiful bird in the world. The challenge for me in rewriting the fairy tale was dealing with the duckling’s transformation into a swan. I knew I didn’t want a physical transformation (for example, a heroine who loses weight, thereby conforming to society ideals). It had to be a different kind of transformation. All I’ll say now is that the novel was huge fun to write, and my gorgeous swan takes London society by storm! Be sure to stop by next month, and I’ll give you a few more hints…
