Christiane Heggan

Christiane Heggan is a bestselling romance author from Nice, France. While she was born in France, she always had a fascination with the English language though she was never good at it while she was in school. As young girls, Christiane and her friends always dreamed of moving to London, Paris, or Rome. However, they did not know how they would make a living once they landed there though they never stopped fantasizing. But then Heggan met her first love and the wanderlust dissipated for a few years. Years later, while she was at the University of Nice as a sophomore, she met an American soldier and within seven months, she was married and living in the United States. They lived in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which was a far cry from the adventure and big city life she had wanted as a teenage girl. While it was nothing like the fairy tale she had envisioned, she saw it as an adventure in love. However, those first few months were a nightmare as she could not speak a word of English, had never held a broom and could not cook. She had a lot of learning to do but within a year she could speak the language fluently, had the cleanest house on the street, and could cook like the best of her neighbors. She had even enrolled for a creative writing course after she was encouraged by her husband.
