Dominique Margolis is a non-native English speaker from France who now lives in Southern California. Her parents and grandparents spoke French, Auvergnat, and Catalan. She started learning English in a rural French middle school but eventually earned a Ph.D. in English. After four decades as an American immigrant, she now writes with the hope that some of what she expresses can provide solace and inspiration for those who sense that their true lot in life is not darkness and destruction. You can follow her on X @dominique_1234 or on Bluesky @dominique1234.bsky.social.
