I'll be reading some fiction along with four other writers from Britain, France, and South Africa as part of the Chateau de Lavigny residency. Lavigny is less than 30 minutes from Geneva by train--if by any chance you're around, stop by! Wine and snacks will be served at the post-reading reception.

The reading will be in part in English and in part if French.
