I read English at university, so I still have a lot of treasured texts, including some Anglo-Saxon ones! I also have shelves of contemporary fiction, lots of art books, and a little poetry. I manage the space available by giving away books I'm not likely to return to a second time. I read a lot of crime fiction as light relief, both in English and French - I find it a good way to keep up with the language, and expand my vocabulary.

I'm the author of Murder at Mansfield Park, a Jane Austen murder mystery. That's also a good clue to the sort of books I like: classic English fiction, and good detective stories. I write for my 'day job' too - corporate stuff mostly, though I have done some fun things like naming toys for a famous London toystore. I'm married, I live in England, and I have two adorable new kittens.
