DEBUT NOVEL
C O M I N G S O O N
Katrina Lawrence is a lover of words, history and Paris – a city she has visited countless times. (Literally: she has lost count.)
After twenty years of working in women's magazines, Katrina took time out to write a book about her happy place: Paris Dreaming: What the City of Light Taught Me About Life, Love & Lipstick.
To share her passion for the city further, she launched a niche travel consultancy, Paris for Dreamers, along with an e-guide, Paris for Dreamers: Whimsical Walks Through the City of Light's Delights.
A lifelong reader of historical fiction, Katrina's debut novel is The Parisian Corset — a tale of couture and courage during occupied Paris, inspired by the wartime story of French Vogue and the mystery of an iconic fashion photograph.
Katrina lives in Sydney, on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

Paris Dreaming: What the City of Light Taught Me About Life, Love & Lipstick
For as long as she can remember, Katrina Lawrence has been in love with Paris. Not just the city of postcards and clichés, but the real Paris — its stories, its style, its intoxicating ability to make you feel more alive.
In this warm and witty memoir, Katrina draws on a lifetime of Parisian adventures to explore what the City of Light has taught her about the things that matter most — love, beauty, friendship, and the art of truly savouring life.
Part travel memoir, part love letter to the most romantic city in the world, Paris Dreaming is for anyone who has ever fallen under Paris's spell — or dreams of doing so..
From the Journal
“We write to heighten our own awareness of life. We write to lure and enchant and console others. We write to serenade our lovers. We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection”
