Kim Defforge

Born in the U.S. and now, an expat living on the French Riviera. As a former French teacher, and lifelong Francophile, I currently enjoy writing - sharing news, information, and amusing stories on my blog, "24/7 in France." My newly released book trailer video and my book, Solitary Desire, tells the story of my journey to France, through love, sweat, and tears. I humbly invite you enjoy both!

Solitary Desire

Memoire

Defforge takes us along on her journey as she narrates the life events that weave an emotional tapestry, from adolescent imagination to adult life situations. Conveying amusing candor, the author details how she came full circle, from Paris to “la vie en rose” on the French Riviera. A true story of twists and turns and the author’s courage to follow it.

Boulette Gets A Surprise

Children's fiction

A children's book about a Jack Russell who discovers that his fear of change holds many suprises for him – a fun story for kids to learn about how life changes can become a happy experience. Since Boulette is an American dog who ‘became’ French, the photos’ captions are in English and French. A story that makes bi-lingual language learning fun for kids and a true bedtime back story for adults to enjoy as well.
