Bonjour! Welcome to The Paris Journals. These are short stories featuring secondary characters from my new novel, Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer, the story of Colette, an American girl who's on a school trip to Paris while a crazed murderer is going around beheading people. (You can read an excerpt here at Wattpad!) These stories give me a chance to share a little more about what was going on with some other characters in the books. I recommend reading the book first so you get a better idea of who they are, but it's not a hundred percent necessary! Enjoy!

"Give me ten days, and I can give you ten reasons not to die." Evan paused. "And if I can't change your mind by then, you can go jump off that cliff."

12-year-old orphan, Bunny Spark, and her twin brother, Beau, live above their family's run-down department store in the grim, industrial town of Grayton. A strange perfumer who calls himself the Nose comes to the store to make and sell perfume. Thousands of people come to buy the young man's unusual perfume, which genuinely seems to live up to its promise of making adults as happy as children, but when the twins' extremely happy younger cousin is drained of all happiness, they begin to suspect that something fishy is going on. SPARK'S AND CAMPBELL'S EMPORIUM OF INTERESTING GOODS PRESENTS: THE NOSE AND HIS PERFUME is a not so serious middle grade fantasy.
