Showing French Toasted: A Sitcom Set in Paris by Gwen Ellery

From the winner of the James D. Phelan Literary Award, comes FRENCH TOASTED, an amusing romp through the lives of four twenty-somethings in Paris. Meet Fern Dodelbach. Well-meaning, hapless, and often off-base, Fern would do anything for her friends even if it means looking like a fool, a not uncommon experience in her life.

In French Toasted, when her wild-child, movie-star cousin Celia arrives in Paris unannounced, it’s all Fern and her friends can do to keep their cool. Which they don’t. Over-the-top antics ensue, including an over-frisky dog incident and an audition for the part of Queen of the Zombies. When the smoke clears, and the clothing tatters fall where they may, will Fern still be standing tall and proud? Or will The Curse of Celia reduce her to a shambles?
