Behind the Scenes: Under the Norman Sky book cover

ebook: https://amzn.to/3Zk9b2K paperback: https://amzn.to/4mlABz5 A Love Letter to Normandy: The Story Behind My New Book Some stories take time to find their true shape. I first began writing this novel in 2014, reaching about twenty thousand words before setting it aside, uncertain of its direction. After years of refining, editing, and reimagining, I’m finally releasing it—eleven years later. The story of Sebastien and Victoria carries fragments of reality, woven with semi-autobiographical touches. Not everything is drawn from my own life, but certain moments reflect personal truths. From the start, I knew I wanted this book to honor Normandy. My husband’s family roots run deep in its soil, their history tied to its landscapes. The connection isn't just heritage—it’s something imprinted on his soul. Normandy also holds special meaning for me: it’s where our youngest child, Yaakov, was born, after a difficult period of loss. This book became more than just ficti...

Teaser Tuesday: Casa de Animas

This is a rough excerpt of #CasadeAnimas #ROUGHDRAFT Cassie turned, eyes meeting mine. And something shifted. It wasn’t just attraction, it was something sharper, deeper, more instinctive. A pull. Like standing on the edge of a stage, the crowd roaring below, every ounce of energy pressing against me, daring me to jump and lose myself in it. Except this wasn’t a stage. It was her . Her presence hummed in the air, charged like static before a storm . Not overwhelming, not suffocating—but impossible to ignore. I wanted to step forward. I wanted to see what would happen if I touched her and let the energy slip past the careful barriers I kept around myself. It reminded me of the moment before I would open my mouth to sing the first note. The energy was already seeping into my skin. Cassandra was l...

BTS: Under the Norman Sky

Hi readers!! I still don't have a date for the release of "Under the Norman Sky," but the first three chapters are out with Alpha readers, and I also got a sneak peek of the beautiful book cover by Suzanna Smith of Funky Book Designs. I can't wait to share it with you all. Today, however, I wanted to give you a background story. Most of you know that my husband is French. Although he was born in Paris, he is actually of Norman stock. His parents, grandparents, and many ancestors have called Normandy home for hundreds of years. As for me, well after living in London for a decade, we moved to Paris and then Normandy, where we spent two magical years exploring the beautiful and verdant French department. And here are a few places that inspired the places in my book, "Under the Norman Sky." Deauville ©Marilyn Jeulin This is where our story begins, at a hotel during Victoria's eighteenth birthday celebrations. The inspiration for the hotel is the hotel m...
