I grew up in Wales, was educated in England and have spent most of my life in France. I've been writing since the age of 10, when my first poem was sent to a competition by my English teacher. After moving to France, I ran a café-theatre till it got demolished, whereupon I scratched my head, wondering what to do next. Eventually I became a university lecturer, specialising in Second Language Acquisition, even though I've spectacularly failed to learn any other languages myself (apart, obviously, from French - but I'm currently trying Dutch and can already say 'My turtle needs a screwdriver', which is encouraging). I spent two years in Mayotte, a tiny, unknown island in the Indian Ocean, which France bought for 1000 piastres in 1842. Magali Rousseau (heroine of my mystery series) got into a lot of trouble there, but now, like me, she's back in Provence, where she jogs, paints, and catches murderers. The first in the series, One Green Bottle, is available free at curtisbaussebooks.com.

The proceeds from WaLWaD! will go to the Against Malaria Foundation.
