My guest this week is the illustrious Chelsea Fagan. Chelsea is an author and the founder and CEO of The Financial Diet, the largest women's personal finance media company. You may know her written work from her numerous non-fiction books or her pieces in publications like The Atlantic, VICE and Cosmpolitan, but we’re here to talk about Chelsea’s steamy fiction debut: “A Perfect Vintage.”

Lea is an industrious American charged with overseeing the renovation of a chateau in the Loire Valley. Her meticulous plans start to go awry the moment her best friends invites herself along, but the story really kicks up once Lea meets the much-younger son of the boss. “A Perfect Vintage” doesn’t shy away from real world issues or a sexy, sultry love scene.

In our conversation, Chelsea reveals what drew her to the romance genre, how she broke with stereotype, what it was like to craft a love scene, and so much more. Then, she treats us to a reading from her book.

About Us
Since well before Victor Hugo looked up at Notre Dame and thought, "Huh... what if a hunchback lived in there?" authors have been inspired by Paris. The Storytime in Paris podcast will help keep this tradition alive with short interviews and readings from your favorite contemporary authors with a French connection.

Every episode will feature five questions, asked by you, our authors' biggest fans, and answered live on air. Then, our authors will treat us to a reading of an excerpt from their book. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be inspired to write your own Great French Novel. Happy listening!
