Nathalie Laine lives a safe distance away from the ocean, in Paris, France.
She enjoys: poking her finger into the mini whirlpools that form above bath drains, randomly understanding words in a language she doesn’t know, wrongly guessing the double-agent in cold war spy stories, sharing a Turkish meal of “Lion’s milk”, fish and turnip juice with friends, and getting spurned by grumpy cats.
She may have snuck some of the above into Alessia in Atlantis.
Background
She is a French and US citizen, and is fortunate enough to have lived in a variety of places: from a pastoral village in Wales to a bustling city in Turkey.
She has a Bachelor’s degree in Management from the London School of Economics, and worked as Marketing Director for Procter & Gamble.
