Priscilla Lalisse-Jespersen recently authored and published the book, “Next of Kin” a very warm and touching memoir to her father who recently passed away from cancer. Reading her book, I felt a “kinship” ‘cause I too lost a parent and, although I’m not my father’s only child, I am the eldest; hence, automatically bestowed with all the “unwanted” responsibilities. I recently had an opportunity to meet her at a book-signing, and I found her to be just as warm, genuine and amicable as she writes.
Priscilla, can you tell me a little about yourself and how you wound up living in Paris?
I am the Editor and Founder of the webzine Prissy Mag in addition to being a writer/author. I’m originally from Alabama, but moved here to Paris in 1999 from NYC. How did I get here? It was a love story. I was living in Manhattan, he in Paris. We decided to live here rather than him move there. I’ve been here ever since.
