It will be a great joy to perform in a such important cultural setting as a public library, to share with readers, a big thank you to the team of the library.
A press article with a photo were published in a local newspaper about one of the professional meeting of cac 66 (an association of writers). I am on the back, 4th place from the left. The article relates a big part of the activities of that. You would know more in following this link :
The performance that took place on November 19 at the Lion’s Club was an unforgettable moment. It was a friendly and enriching conversation around the literary work of one of my novels Fantastic L.A. This event took place as part of a charity event.
The session began with a concrete sharing of the creative process. Then it continued with a time of exchange, questions / answers with the participants in a warm atmosphere, it continued with a discussion. I thank all the participants. The event met an incredible success.
On Saturday, November 16, a book fair will take place in Saint-Genis des Fontaines from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
This event has a special aspect since it is also a moment of solidarity. As part of a charitable action, a computer will be given to a child forced to continue school at home. This donation will significantly improve his/her conditions to follow the studies.
I will be there as well as other artists, writers members of the literary association, CAC 66.

I had the pleasure of attending the online conference that took place in Los Angeles with Michael Connelly. Many thanks to screencraft for inviting me as an author. On this occasion, the presenter asked precise and relevant questions about the work of the novelist and the adaptations of his books for series. He emphasized the fact that a police investigation is for him a way of exploring another subject that is often wider.
Congratulations to the winner of the performance : discover the plot. I offered this performance as part of the opening of the Arts Center in Saint Genis des Fontaines this summer. This one will be performed in a place of Lion’s Club on November 19, 2024 where I will answer questions from the audience.
Charlène Wright will most certainly be present in a few pages to talk about the fantastic thriller : Fantastic L.A.
During Catalan days, both Catalan identity and its history are celebrated. Far from the clichés too often conveyed, it covers different cultural aspects. As an author, I never felt trapped in the past in these places, quite the contrary. In each of my writings, I seek to connect to a city or another country and almost like magic it succeeds each time.
For Fantastic L.A, I started by reading an article related to a historical fact in local history. A point I developp in my masterclass. Then, perhaps because I write fiction and fantasy, I said to myself…what is the most improbable thing you could do? to this question my inner voice answered me: look for a distant town that might seem the opposite of Thuir. So I chose Los Angeles. That’s when I discovered that there are always more things that bring us together than we initially believe. Palm trees, Hollywood cinema and all other artists around the world.
I will be present on July 19, 2024 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Catalan days which will take place in Thuir at the Villa Palauda.
You will be able to discover my books and ask questions.

Thank you to the organizers, the circle of authors of 66 and the public.
It was a beautiful sunny day where we were surrounded by a natural area.
For several years, I have regularly participated in updating my knowledge. because I consider writing a profession. The specialization that I have just completed allows me to acquire new knowledge while offering me the possibility of supporting other authors in their projects. This is characterized, for example, by feedback and constructive criticism on their writings.
The team that awards this specialization is made up mostly of authors who have published more than a dozen award-winning novels and written articles in publications such as the New York Times, the Washington Post and O : The Oprah Magazine. A very enriching approach.
Today I received my certification and thank the entire team.
