Interview with the Author
What was your inspiration to write the American in Paris series?After a few too many drinks, I either turn to storytelling or karaoke. I'm much better at storytelling—or so my friends say! They encouraged me to put my tales to paper, and thus was born my series of memoirs, essentially a collection of funny true stories.
OK, so they're technically memoirs. But they seem different than traditional memoirs. How would you categorize them?Most bestselling memoirs are written by celebrities, who already have a huge audience. I had to choose a different angle in order to stand out, so I went for humor. I hope people enjoy my stories, which have been compared to chick lit except they're true! I also talk about my travels, so my books would appeal to anyone who likes travel humor. Confessions of a Paris Party Girl is a funny coming of age memoir, while Confessions of a Paris Potty Trainer falls under parenting humor or pregnancy humor.
Yikes, those are practically spoilers!Sorry! Between my French last name and my author bio, I think the cat might already be out of the bag. However, even if you have a rough idea of how it all ends, you have no idea how rough it was getting there until you read my books!
There are so many memoirs about Paris, why should I choose yours?It's true, there are some really great Paris memoirs. The fact that I have read (and enjoyed!) so many bestselling memoirs myself makes me think it's a popular genre for a reason. We're always thirsty for another sip of Paris, to travel to Paris through the pages of a book, to fall in love with Paris again!
So this book is part of the American in Paris series?Yep! Each book can stand alone, but like fine wine and cheese they go great together. You can read them in any order, though I'd recommend:
Book 1: Confessions of a Paris Party GirlBook 2: Confessions of a Paris Potty Trainer
Book 3: Christmas Confessions & Cocktails
Book 4: Petite Confessions
Book 5: Confessions & Cocktails
If you enjoy a good laugh and want to see the crazy things that happened to this American girl living in France, you'll enjoy the American in Paris series!

From the Author:
I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them! I moved to Paris thinking it would be a dream come true, and while it was pretty darn awesome, I also encountered a few bumps along the way. Which at least gave me plenty of writing material!

Amazon best-selling author Vicki lived in Paris for 11 years, where she met her husband and had two kids. After realizing that a one-bedroom Parisian apartment was too small for the four of them, they moved to Vicki's hometown of St. Louis and have been enjoying all the extra space ever since. Vicki still misses croissants and baguettes and stinky cheese, though. You can read more at VickiLesage.com.
