Best-selling author Kate Mosse has taken on the exclusive guest editorship of the January edition of FRANCE Magazine - the first in the magazine's history.

As Citadel, her third novel in the Languedoc-set Labyrinth trilogy rides high in the best-seller charts, Kate's work is also soon to be seen in a BBC mini-series, set in Mosse's second home of Carcassonne and featuring Jessica Brown Findlay, Vanessa Kirby and Tom Felton.

Kate has overseen highlights of the January issue of FRANCE Magazine including:

Her personally penned five-page feature on Carcassonne, including insider hints and tips.

Her interview with fellow author and Francofile Tracy Chevalier.

Feature articles on the best cinemas of Paris AND upcoming events for France in 2013.

The January edition of FRANCE Magazine is out on sale Thursday 6th of December.

Kate says:

"It's a great pleasure to have been invited to be the first Guest Editor of FRANCE Magazine. In the past, I've been lucky to be asked to contribute articles - and have been interviewed once or twice too - but I'm also a regular reader and it's one of the magazines I always find time to skim, read and turn down the pages."

Carolyn Boyd, editor of FRANCE Magazine comments:

"It was a privilege to work with Kate on our January issue, and get a real insight into how this little corner of France has inspired her writing. I'm sure any France-lover will be enchanted by her involvement with the magazine."
