About this author

edit data

I was born and grew up in France, where I developed a love for language, literature, and good food. In my early thirties I moved to Australia where I am based now.

I am an agricultural economist and a linguist by education, and a management consultant by trade. However, my passion for writing and literature led me to more creative endeavours...
I started by writing short plays. Having studied acting in Sydney and in Paris, it just seemed a natural extension of performing on stage. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to continue. The rest is history, as we say... I write in both English and French. One of my plays, My Sister's Choice, also makes extensive use of sign language.

I have published two novels, The Wings of Leo Spencer and Body Swap,...more

Jerome's Recent Updates

Jerome Parisse gave to: L'appel de l'ange by Guillaume Musso	My rating:
Sometimes I like Musso's books, sometimes I don't. This time I liked it. The story is good. It starts with two people exchanging their mobile phones by mistake, and what follows is quite unexpected. Of course it is a love story (it's Musso, after all...more

Jerome Parisse gave to: The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1) by Suzanne Collins	My rating:
I was intrigued by the Hunger Games. I kept seeing it on bookstores’ shelves, and was wondering if a new trilogy could outperform recent, successful ones. Mixed reviews kept fuelling my interest. My verdict: very good. Fast-paced, well written, engag...more

Jerome Parisse made a comment on his review of Flash and Bones "That's a very good question. I'm not entirely sure, but I do feel that the books now sound like a TV series.... less exciting content and less innovat...more "

Jerome Parisse gave to: The Mermaids Singing (Tony Hill & Carol Jordan, #1) by Val McDermid	My rating:
Wow. The Mermaids Singing is the second book by Val McDermid that I read, and iI found as good as the first, if not better. It's not for the faint-hearted. A number of supposedly gay men are tortured and murdered by a serial killer, their bodies left...more

Jerome Parisse gave to: Flash and Bones by Kathy Reichs	My rating:
Flash and Bones is another one of Kathy Reichs' thrillers featuring Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist. As usual the writing is good (I actually quite like Reichs' dry, straight-to-the-point writing, although her one word sentences are a b...more

Jerome Parisse liked Donna's review of The Hunger Games: " I'm not sure what age group this book is for, as it is a bit gruesome and bloodthirsty in places for kids, even though some of the characters are only 12 or 13. But I don't think it is an adult book either. I did enjoy it, the action didn't stop s... " Read more of this review »

Jerome Parisse liked A.J. Llewellyn's review of The Hunger Games: " I love and adored this book and couldn't wait to read the others so posted a rating but no review so I could get to them. I am so high on this story and in spite of some serious editing flaws I overlooked them because this is simply an astonishing... " Read more of this review »

Jerome Parisse gave to: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë	My rating:
I was a little disappointed by Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Yes, I've only just read it! Never had to at school, like so many people I know, so I had a totally open mind. I love Wuthering Heights, by sister Emily, and I was sort of expecting someth...more
