    I am an American writer and former book editor living in London. I'm fascinated by the cultural differences between England and America, especially as they are expressed through language. My book, THAT'S NOT ENGLISH: Britishisms, Americanisms and What Our English Says About Us is available in the US and the UK from Penguin Random House. I live in Islington with my husband, our children, Anne and Henry, and our cat, Sukha.
