"Gigi" author (7)
I believe the answer is:
colette
'gigi author' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for colette that I've seen before include "French writer" , "Fr. novelist, wrote Gigi" , "French novelist, author of Gigi, d. 1954" , "French female novelist" .)
