Amy Paulussen

Amy is a High School English teacher by day (and sometimes night), and writes whenever she gets the chance.

Jane Austen was her first love, closely followed by Marian Keyes, and rather than pick one flavour of fiction, she’s gone ahead and written both historical and contemporary novels.

If you like earls and viscounts, elaborate gowns and unspoken passions, manners and morality, secrets and swordplay, then the regency romances are for you!

If you prefer a more modern jaunt to Paris or London, a sexy stranger, misunderstandings and mishaps, terrible timing and tantalising near-misses, the romantic comedies are going to be more your jam.

Amy also writes poetry, some short stories, the occasional article, and a bit of flash fiction.

A big believer in creative communities, Amy often reads at local open-mics, loves her chapter of Romance Writers of New Zealand, and used to chair the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors. Every school holidays, a highlight is going along to the weekly write-in she started over three years ago.

What's French for Oops

Meet Jean: a nanny with a plan… that just went out the window of a taxi cab headed for Heathrow.

So long, London! Bonjour, Paris!
…is the sum total of Jean’s French, but her maths is fine and this apartment does not have enough bedrooms.

Jean has a brilliant nannying gig in London, but when the kids’ uptight father suddenly ups and takes them all to Paris, everything starts to go wrong.

What's French for Oops? is a slow burn, sexy romantic comedy, available now in Paperback, via Amazon, and on all e-book platforms.
