Elektra was just going to Paris for a vacation … really.

Until she meets a British aristocrat with purple hair and a serious grudge against humanity. 

Transman spy Charley travels to Paris to help break up a Neo Nazi plot to scatter dirty bombs throughout the city.

His older lover Electra comes along to study French. But she soon discovers Dickie Borque, a toe-tapping, sinister expat, may be behind the dirty bomb plot. Charley, however, is not so sure.

Meanwhile, she and Charley begin having love troubles when he suggests opening up their relationship to suit his pansexual desires.

After discovering that he may have been fooling around with his attractive new male assistant, Electra moves out in a huff. Soon Charley is wandering the quays alone, trying to find the dirty bombs while wistfully longing for his love.

Finally Electra enlists the help of Dickie’s feisty eighty-something milliner, Odile, to break up the plot.

But that’s when Electra disappears.

Now Charley must search frantically for both the bombs and Electra amidst the cafes, conversation, and the gleaming, rainy streets of Paris in winter. 

If you love Paris … you’ll love:

-Charley’s moody walks on the quays of the Seine … watching the windows light up at sunset

-A sumptuous feast at Chez Paul, the quintessential French café, complete with handwritten menus

-Charley’s first encounter with a neo-Nazi – improbably in a British style tea shop that’s cozy beyond cozy

-The uniquely healing, only-in-France aperitif that Odile pulls out for special occasions … and the secret story behind how it came to be

Dive into Transformed: Paris … you’ll get lost in a perfectly delicious, and yes, page-turning way.

It’s fun. It’s a little wild.

And so very French!
