Peggy Kopman-Owens has lived and worked in more than 35 countries on five continents, first as a crewmember for commercial airlines and private jets, then, as a free-lance writer. At university, she studied art, anthropology, and five languages, but aviation stole her heart early on. Her work includes 25 books, screenplays and stage plays, but creating series of Paris mysteries has become her newest passion.
