Kirsten Lobe Author of French Hangover and French Trysts "What a pleasure it is to be in the Paris of 1907- to visit the studios of Marie Laurencin and Picasso, to walk the halls of the Beaux Arts, and to see it all through the eyes of this willful young art student from San Francisco." Ryan Harty, Pushcart Prize Winner and author of Bring Me Your Saddest Arizona.

From leaving her boyfriend in Chicago to starting at marketing firm Savoir in Paris, it reveals all the thrill, fear and confusion Emily experiences as she embarks on her new life. She becomes acquainted not only with French workplace etiquette - the long lunches, the arguments, the determined reluctance to use social media - but also with Gabriel, the hottest chef in town. Some things, though, are beyond comprehension: like why the first floor in a Parisian apartment building is the second floor and the first floor is the ground floor. As the months go by, Emily learns how it's perfectly normal to have a glass of Sancerre for breakfast and how you should never turn up early at work. But more than anything, she learns about love, female friendships, and how exciting it is to step out of your comfort zone in this beautiful and intriguing city. Paris, J'Adore! is also a guidebook to how to be a Parisian, with tips on fashion, romance, and where to capture the perfect selfie in the City of Lights. Written in Emily's voice, it will contain the following sections: Emily's Fashion Paris - all about Emily's favourite outfits and designers - from Cadault to Chanel - as well as tips on what to wear to the beach, where to find the best boutiques, and how to dress like a Parisian; Emily's Romantic Paris - the best bridges to kiss and break up on, where you can find the most breathtaking views and the most perfect backstreets, why the magic of the Eiffel Tower twinkling at night is the most intoxicating backdrop to falling in love, and a selection of the most evocative French songs to sing along to; Emily's Secret Paris - where Parisians show Emily the real Paris, from the hamman in the Mosquée de Paris to the Atelier des Lumières, and from small independent French cinemas to delightful neighbourhood restaurants; Emily's Workplace Paris - how to navigate tensions and emotions in a French boardroom, lunch and coffee break rituals, Sylvie's own version of Savoir's Employee Handbook, and how to teach the French about social media; Emily's Escapades from Paris - including the delights of the Champagne region, the sheer glamour of Saint-Tropez and the opulence of the Château de Versailles.

Book excerpt: A Word from the Author In a world filled with so many unanswered questions, its hard to find answers for the many questions without proper gudiance. We are yet faced with the missing piece of the puzzle trying to make it fit, yet everyone is searching. Without proper prayer and study of the scriptures, our perspective becomes confused. I have been expired by the anointing of such a great God to write this book. About twenty years ago, I wrote my first fiction novel but never published it. Today, my life has changed as I have been moved by the anointing of God to write. I have sought the Lord diligently for his will and direction for my life. Sometimes what we will is not always God's will. We make promises and never commit to them. We lose battles but never seek the definition of why we lost the battle and were never able to overcome it. You have decision in life, and choices, and for the most part, we choose which decisions we will make. As a born again believer of the Apostolic persuasion, I have been taught down through the years, and to this day I believe that the Lord has a destiny for my life, and whatever he has destined, it will come to birth. I currently attend Greater Grace Apostolic Faith Church, I thank God for all the men and women of God whom have made positive deposit into my life. The God we serve is a covenant God. What we will is not always his will... My prayer is that as you read this book, that the spirit of God will make a new manifestation in your life. I hope the spirit of love will begin flourishing in your life, and that the Glory of God may be revealed, and that you will experience a revelation from the God that made the heaven and the earth, who is the creator of this marvelous creation. It is my belief that when you read this book, it will have an inner effect on you as you allow it to minister to your spiritual man, and that it will change your life.
