My guest this week is award-winning author Katrina Kell. Katrina won an Australian Society of Authors Award Mentorship for “Chloé,” her novel released earlier this year. “Chloé” is an historical novel, inspired by the painting of the same name by Jules Lefebvre in 1875, which now lives in the bar of the Young and Jackson Hotel in Melbourne.
In her novel, Katrina explores the life of Marie, the woman who posed for the painting, and the mystery behind her supposed death. In our conversation, Katrina shares why she was drawn tto Marie, how she separated myth from history, how she balanced Parisian poetry with Australian jargon, and the dream that started ot alll.

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!
