A great way to travel to Paris without leaving your home. This giveaway Cerella has put together looks absolutely divine.

Sherida - it's so fun to promote stories like this, isn't it? I love that we could theme everything around Paris, travel, and food! :)

Thanks, Rebby! You should have seen how long I stood in the Epcot France shops, trying to choose the items for the giveaway. :)

Ann, I feel the same way! I love that about The Paris Connection and my other novel, Gentle Persuasion - I got to visit these places from the comfort of my couch!
