Divorce, Booklyn, Paris

I have half a day left and I haven't started writing as yet. I have two books in the pipeline to be completed within the next week at the latest. They are 1) How to Divorce Part 3 and Paris: My First 3 Months.

It is funny how I found the latter. I write a lot of things and blogs and books and then I forget all about them as I said in the previous post. Just this morning I found a book I wrote and published on lulu.com called A summer in Brooklyn a Summer in Paris. I wrote this in 2004 and published it in 2008. On lulu.com. I don't think anybody ever ordered a copy cause I never received any royalties from lulu but as I said in the previous post you can read an excerpt of it on Google books here. 

It is incrediblde how this type of stuff happens because very typically, when I arrived in Paris nearly 5 years ago - for the fourth time in my life (so I have been to Paris 4 times) - I started a blog called When Jeannie Went to Paris. I proceeded to make the blog private. And a year into it, I stopped blogging and forgot all about the blog. Couldn't even remember which email and password I used. Then I suddenly remember and boom! I got into the blog this week and I was like, "wow!" This is a book! So I have been working on it a little, editing it, and I hope to have it by next week on Amazon Kindle and in the bookstore too.

A Summer In Brooklyn, a Summer in Paris

Look what I found! See, I told you that I don't only write divorce books. I can't believe how quickly I forgot that I had written this book! I had forgotten all about this little book I wrote in 2004 and I stumbled upon it today when I googled myself. Amazing. And it is so timely now with the 2016 elections where all the candidates, every other word out of the mouths is "Paris" because of the terrorism, etc.

I am a huge Hillary fan and her headquarters are in Brooklyn, in my old backyard. So this is really fun to find. I have no idea about lulu.com at this point as I have never received any royalties from them in all these years. So I don't think this book is selling like hot cakes exactly. But it is out there. And when I read this excerpt on google books, it gave me a tickle.

By the way, the photo is mine. I took it on my old camera. It is my old church. The little courtyard leading from the rectory to the auditorium. Once upon a time, I was the receptionist here. It was my part time job when I was in college.
