I was born in Paris, France, and moved to the United States at the age of 13. I’ve amassed several degrees in literature and writing around the San Francisco Bay Area (Stanford University, Mills College, UC Davis), where I still live with one scientist husband and two elderly half-Siamese cats who like to eat random things off the floor. My novel, 13 rue Thérèse, was released by the Reagan Arthur imprint of Little, Brown in February 2011. Foreign rights have been sold to the UK, Italy, Russia, Poland, France. I am trying to write a sophomore novel and I have a bunch of pages but I DON’T KNOW WHAT ORDER THEY GO IN. Please send hugs/chocolate/narcotics.
Write me at elenamaulishapiro (at) gmail (dot) com, or contact me through my agent.
I obviously don’t know you, I love 13 rue Therese; however, as writing exposes the soul deeply, I believe you are a very exceptional woman
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the book.

Thank you! I’m looking forward to tomorrow!
My husband and I were in Paris last week to celebrate his birthday and we had a tiny apt on the corner of rue Therese and rue Ste Anne! Your building was the frist place I found! Brought pictures of it home!
Have stayed fascinated an inspired by your book and now helping a friend who discovered a box of momentos in an old house she bought.
Thank you! Your comment totally made my day! Your friend’s discovery sounds like a story in the making…
