: About Me

Bonjour,

My name is Catherine, I am french but I have been living in the UK for over 10 years now. more recenlty I have moved to the Middle East with my husband and kids. We're hoping that his new business venture will bring us great fortune. Only jocking!

I owe my love for books to my mum, whom I never seen without one in her hands. I have a passion for the writing words and I would like to think that I have something to contribute.

I am very a curious and quite determine person. Ambition, but the kind of ambition that does not measure itself by money.
