Start Here — Welcome to Part-Time Parisian
Welcome. If you’re new here, this is the best place to begin.
Part-Time Parisian is where I share fiction, historical research, and reflections drawn from Paris — its streets, archives, and long memory. Some posts grow out of my novels; others explore real events that inspired them. All are written for readers who enjoy history, espionage, and stories grounded in place.
Here’s what you’ll find here:
Short fiction and excerpts connected to my Eddie Grant thrillers
Paris history & wartime intrigue, often stranger than fiction
Behind-the-scenes research from the archives and the streets
This newsletter is free, and always will be.
Where to Start
If you’d like a quick introduction to my fictional world, you can start with a free novella, Lauren — a short, self-contained story that sets the tone for the Eddie Grant series.
If you’d rather jump straight into the novels, the series begins with Treasure of Saint-Lazare, a Paris-based thriller built around a real, still-unsolved WWII art mystery.

New posts appear every week or two. You don’t need to read everything — just dip in where your curiosity leads.
À bientôt,
