About the Author
Jamie has been writing as far back as she can remember; before that, she talked, to make up for not being able to write. From the few creative writing contests she won at primary school, she went on to obtain a Masters in English Literature in York, United Kingdom before returning to Malaysia to work in the media.
There, she joined one of Malaysia s largest English newspapers, The Star, and contributed on a freelance basis to other prestigious publications such as Hello! Magazine, Harpers Bazaar, Malaysia and Venusbuzz.com Life was good and the world was at her feet. Life doesn't get much more glamorous than being able to shop for a living (and then write about it), interview top politicians and review the latest trends in the city ... and get paid for all of it. But there had to be more to life than just articles, interviews and photo shoots. A girl gets restless and soon begins to aspire for much more than this.
Jamie met H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche and the Kechara Buddhist organization in 2005, a year gave her a whole new spin on things and showed her a unique way of living that combines martinis with mantras, spirituality with style and Buddha with boyfriends. She is now one of the Senior Editors of the dynamic young publisher, Kechara Media & Publications and Liaison (personal assistant) to Rinpoche. Call Me Paris is her first book. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
