"With my husband's blessing, I quit my job and turned my attention to writing, learning to spell and punctuate along the way." –from the chapter "Valorisant." (Thanks, Patrick & Sandra, for the photo!)

Good news: C'est prêt! It's ready: the e-book version of First French Essais is live! For a limited time, get the e-book at this price.

Then read the chapter "Valorisant," and let me tell you how a below-average student came to write French Word-A-Day, for university professors. Order the e-book here. It's priced less than a café-au-lait and croissant in Paris–but not for long!

And now, it's time to celebrate–by sharing a piece of my sister's birthday cake!
Here is Heidi's gâteau and the message I left her on Facebook. Note: I found a picture of the cake on the internet, and added this personal flourish above the skirt ruffles

  French-birthday cake
Joyeux Anniversaire to my sister, Heidi Ingham Stiteler. Wish I could hand-deliver you a cake like this one. Wish we could go back to the good ol' days, when you did my laundry  Or simply the good ol' days… when we lived much closer….

  1. Late here in Australia Kristin and just as I checked my last emails in bed before turning the light off, your blog post came in.
    With one click I’m now the proud owner of your livre numerique.
    Excellent news, been waiting to have it bundled up in my iPhone for joyous momentary snatches when time permits.
    Downloaded in a heartbeat, might b a while before lights out. Happy camper.
    Thanks. Nikki

  7. I, too, did one-click ordering, and in a flash it’s on my tablet! Received the hard copy last week, and love it, but my eyes prefer reading a tablet at night before bed, which is my only quiet moment to really relish your words. Thank you so much for the thoughtful gift. I will read and re-read with delight! Love the pics in the book of the kids as little ones. Time goes by so quickly… You helped capture the memories for your family as well as for your loyal readers. What a treasure…

  9. Wow, what a cake ! Seems so yummy !!!
    Nice decor (french word and I guess it’s the same for that..?) and…. just a little stuff, dear Kristin : “quand je suis en vacanceS”. Yes , always plural when we mean… vacationS !: Because “vacance” means “vacancy” and we don’t use it when we speak about vacations, days off, etc.
    I always enjoy a lot your billets quotidiens (or not !) even I don’t have the time to post something..!
    Continuez comme ça. Amitiés !

  13. I love my Kindle. But for your very special books I must have a hard copy. Waiting for mine to arrive today, as a matter of fact. Now all three will be side by side on my bookshelf. They’re a treasure and so are you, Kristin.

  17. Sorry, just some nit-picking…to the best of my knowledge the French word telecharger means to download, and stocker means to store (eg a file)

    David, I think it is a Gap shirt? Bought with my sister during a trip back to Phoenix 🙂
    Ally, sorry about that. I just got the e-book conversion file a day ago and uploaded immediately to Amazon.

  23. Congrats on the book, in all of its incarnations.
    I’m sure that your Kindle-reading fans are especially pleased. Ah yes, but some of us use the Nook.
    Bon chance,

  25. I am so enjoying reading your books, Kristin! I’ve got one review up, but need to get one up for each of your other books as well now! I really like that photo of you and JM!
    Hi, Jules! I have a MacBook Pro. You can download a free Kindle app from the App Store (I think the icon should show in your dock) and then download eBooks, oops, I mean livres numerique, and read them on your computer!
    Once you get Kindle downloaded and opened, just click on the Shop in Kindle Store button. That will open Amazon where you can shop to your heart’s content and download all of Kristi’s books! 🙂 There are also a ton of free books available, mostly classics to give you hours of things to read! Just type in free in the search box!
    Enjoy! ! !

    You can see the warmth and love in JM’s eyes. Unlike on the wedding day 😉 You should frame todays. How wonderful that you both so totally support each other’s passion.
