J.-F. Dubeau:
What's your first language French or English? I was born and raised in Montreal, so I am wondering if your writing from your mother tongue or your second language.
J.-F. Dubeau
I don't really have a first language between the two.
Chronologically, I learned French first from my parents, but at the age of four they sent me to an English preschool. I then spent my youth bouncing between French and English schools. Listened mostly to English television while speaking French to my parents. I read mostly English books and I've worked in both French and English environments. The vast majority of my friends are also bilingual.
I'm proud to say that I've lived a bilingual life and consider myself as such.

Is there going to be a sequel for A God in the Shed? Because that book really messed me up and I already miss Venus and Penny. (My girlsss.)
