Sunday, May 18, 2008 Heather will be at the Los Angeles Convention Center from May 29-June 1 promoting the Naughty Paris Guide at BookExpo America (BEA), the largest publishing trade show in North America.
Sunday, May 18, 2008 Secrets of Paris is now an official member of the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau, so you'll see our walking tours promoted (in French and English) under the section Trips & Tours.
Tours Sunday, January 27, 2008 Today I did my first media appearence for Playboy Channel's new series beginning in March called "69 Sexy Things to Do Before You Die". Here I am on the banks of the Seine trying not to look cold, talking about my guidebook and all of the naughty things you can get yourself into in Paris.
The Naughty Paris Guide is now in editorial production! The cover is done -- pretty, non?
Coming May 2008!
Wednesday, July 18, 2007 After many months of trying to find the right team to produce the Naughty Paris Guide, I have finally found an excellent photographer, Kirsten Loop, who agreed to come to Paris all the way from Toronto to shoot over 25 locations in a ten-day period. Stay tuned on the progress at the Naughty Paris Blog.
Monday, May 7, 2007 Not all of my work is for fluffy travel guides and magazines.
I've been helping Rémi Fritsch, president of UHA (Urgence Humanitaire Asie), translate the newsletters of his non-profit organization, created a year ago to help the thousands of predominantly Hmong refugees being exterminated in Laos. Their crime? They're the children and grandchildren of those who fought on the side of the Americans (and before that, the French) during the Vietnam War.
It doesn't seem to be up on the UHA site yet, so in the meantime you can read the rough draft here.
