About Alyssa

Alyssa never thought she’d write a book, but her son, Rowan, and their family travels inspired her to write RORO’S PARIS. She currently works as a technical writer, after enjoying careers in journalism and software engineering. Alyssa lives outside Boston, Massachusetts with her husband and 5-year-old son. When she’s not writing, she loves to travel, crochet amigurumi, run, and play the piano.

Alyssa’s favorite place in Paris:

“It’s so tough to choose one place, but I always love returning to Sacré-Cœur and viewing the city from there. I also love all of the art museums, namely the Musée de l’Orangerie, the Musée Rodin, and the Musée d’Orsay. Finally, I never miss a boat ride on the Seine. It may be touristy, but I love being able to sit back, relax, and see so many iconic landmarks!”

Sayani’s favorite place in Paris:

“I absolutely loved my time at the Eiffel Tower — seeing Paris from the top was an unforgettable experience. I was also really excited to visit Versailles, but unfortunately the gardens weren’t in bloom during my visit, so it wasn’t quite what I’d hoped for!”
