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!

Ep. 67 - Jamie Pacton, “The Absinthe Underground”

My guest this week is bestselling, award-winning author Jamie Pacton. Jamie has predominantly written Young Adult novels, although she currently has some adult fiction in the works. Her latest novel, “The Absinthe Underground,” is a sapphic YA romantasy set in France during the Belle Époque, and was an instant Indie Bestseller.

In it, Sybil and Esme, two best friends who are secretly in love with one another, make the mistake of stealing the wrong poster in an effort to make rent. They are confronted by the head of The Absinthe Underground nightclub, an actual Green Faerie, catapulting them on a heist that sends them into the Fae World.

In our conversation, Jamie shares what drew her to Sybil and Esme’s love story, what challenges make wrting YA fun, how her work of historic fiction first stepped foot into the world of Fae, and so much more.
