NEW PARIS BOOK IN PROGRESS IN 2025: DOES THIS PARIS BOOK HAVE A TITLE YET MARTINA? – Blog 35Some things are yet to be revealed …
Some books arrive fully formed, like a sudden epiphany. Others unfold slowly, like a long Parisian evening – filled with unexpected encounters and secrets. My book is in the latter category. The book I have been working on – my “new Paris book” – is nearing completion. The words have been gathered, rewritten, restructured, and woven into a story. There is yet the ending to complete and the editing process to be undertaken. March will mark a turning point, I hope. At the latest, April – all being well. The manuscript will be complete, but that’s not the only secret I’ve been keeping. A book’s soul is found in its words, but the first impression is in its cover. And I am thrilled to tell you that the cover of my book is ready! The cover design will be revealed in March—alongside something added: the title. Yes, Virginia, there is a title. I have kept the cover and title hidden, waiting for just the right moment to introduce it to my readers. Unless, of course, my family can’t maintain the secret! Until then, I want to bring you deeper into the world of the book. In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing: Exclusive Excerpts: sneak peeks at moments that didn’t exist in the first drafts but now feel essential. An Ode to the Pigeons of Paris: because someone ought to write it, and it might as well be me. The City That Breathes: a chapter that captures Paris in different moods, at dawn, at noon, and in the hush of midnight. Yes, readers, I was there, doing my research and braving the cold to experience midnight in Paris – but midnight is not in the title. Cover and Title Reveal Day: where the book finally steps out of the shadows and into the light. I can’t wait to share it with you. With anticipation and gratitude, Martina.
