About MAL’s Blog
The Lady Who Lunches started as a simple concept - Me, the American lady, traveled to England to live with my boyfriend, the Englishman and became a lady of leisure - i.e. "a lady who lunches." Since this lady can't sit still for more than 10 minutes at a time, I wrote a novel. A year and a half passed and we're now back in the United States. Next adventure - traveling for two months around the states, selling novel, finding apartment, job and moving to Chicago.I Also Write Here
