Hello, dear readers. I'm Lila Moreau, and I'm thrilled to connect with you through the stories we share. Born in Lyon, France, in 1978, I grew up in a cozy apartment filled with books and lively debates. My father, a literature professor, spun tales of classic novels, while my mother, an American journalist, shared stories from her global reporting. Those early years sparked my love for unraveling the truths behind human stories, especially the ones that linger in history's shadows. As a shy kid, I was always scribbling in notebooks, captivated by mysteries and old trials. That curiosity led me to study journalism at the Sorbonne and criminology at Cambridge, where I explored how society shapes the narratives of crime and justice. My career began as a freelance journalist for outlets like The Guardian, chasing leads and learning to listen to the silences in every story. My Crimes of Passion series is my heart's work, diving deep into cases that reveal the complexities of human emotion and societal flaws. From Sydney's suburbs to London's streets, I've walked the paths of these stories, seeking to understand the lives behind the headlines. I aim to honor the victims, question the systems, and spark conversations about justice and empathy. On a personal note, I'm a mom of two, married to a documentary filmmaker who shares my passion for truth. We split our time between Paris and New York, though I often miss the quiet of my childhood countryside. My own experience in a toxic relationship in my 20s informs the compassion I bring to my writing-I know the weight of feeling trapped. I support causes like domestic abuse survivors and migrant workers' rights, believing stories should drive change. When not writing, I lecture on criminology, host my podcast Passion's Shadow, or sketch in quiet cafés. Thank you for reading my work. If these stories have moved or challenged you, I'm grateful. Let's keep exploring the truths that shape our world, together.
