Conversation with Michael Connelly
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.
Opening of the center of Arts
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.
Catalan days 2024
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.
Free admission.
