All you need to know about my memoir: Paris On Air

Hello everyone!

I’ve written a book! And not just any old book either, it’s a memoir about my first five years in Paris.

And I’m very excited to share it with you.

Well it’s official. I’ve written a book. It’s my story of Paris, a memoir. It’s about the outrageous struggles and fortunes of life in Paris as a young man. I’d go as far as saying it’s laugh-out-loud funny. And lucky me – my wife @parisianpostcards has made the cover already! In one week I’m going to launch a Kickstarter in the hopes of pre-selling 300 copies. If I can do that, I’ll be able to self-publish the paperback, ebook, and turn it into an audio experience for podcast fans. I’ll be having a Paris party on Wednesday next week to mark the launch – send me a DM if you want to come along – otherwise you can watch the live stream where I’ll read the first few pages 🙂 I put every ounce of my effort into this project and I truly hope you guys will jump on board and help turn it into a real book!! One week. The countdown begins. Let’s do this! #parisbook #parismemoir #theearfultower

What’s the book about?

Well, it’s the story of my past five years in Paris. If I were to write the back cover, it’d start off a bit like this:

Join award-winning podcaster Oliver Gee on this laugh-out-loud journey through the streets of Paris. 

A fresh voice on the Paris scene, he shares the soaring highs and crushing lows that come with following your dreams to the French capital. 

He also befriends the city’s too-cool-for-school basketballers, chases runaway crocodiles, and goes on a mammoth honeymoon trip around France on his little red scooter.

You get the picture…

There are also a bunch of anecdotes and stories from the podcast that will transport you directly to the city of lights immediately!

Is the book any good?

Well, you can listen to the full first chapter on the podcast link below and decide for yourself. Or you can scroll through the reviews on GoodReads, where it has a 4.75 out of 5 star average after 130 reviews 🙂

One guy said he laughed until he cried at my description of how to sound like a Frenchman.

And the book was a lockdown bestseller at the Shakespeare and Company bookshop. In fact, the first print run of the book sold out after just two months so there’s gotta be something good in those pages!

So, how do I get a copy?

Here is the link to order the book directly from me, which is MUCH more helpful to me as a writer than if you buy it elsewhere. Or just scroll down and click the icons at the bottom of this page.

And don’t forget, it’s not just a book, there’s the audio experience too,which I narrated and which contains the voice of about 20 other people too.

Here’s the first chapter of the audiobook as a taster.

So what are you waiting for? The book is ready to go, get your copy today!
