I am pleased to announce that this week I joined the circle of Catalan authors. A professional approach that I consider very important for discussing the arts and our profession. A possibility for you too, dear readers, to come and meet us in places favorable to the sharing of ideas.
Updating a trailerbook
As part of the reissue of my books in digital format, I updated the trailer for Fantastic L.A. because the cover of the book changed on the version published in 2023. I use the open shot software on Linux, it seems to me that It is also available on other platforms.
I acquired the video files and composed the music. Then, repair the track by track assembly.

Avignon festival 2023
This year I went to the Avignon festival for about one of my artistic projects. This allowed me to connect and establish contacts but also to discover new live shows.
I made the choice to explore several themes such as burlesque which is close to musical theater and also to revisit certain classics such as William Shakespeare.
My visit to the off village was very rewarding on a professional level. I attended an author’s conference (interview of Michèle Gazier by Harold David) as well as a round table on theatrical writing, three different profiles of artists working in live performance exchange their experiences with the public.
Jury for anticipation contest 2023
I am pleased to announce my contribution as a member of the jury for the 2023 anticipation competition. Organized by Les Utopies Extraordinaires, the contest will reward 3 Science Fiction short stories.
As an author, this experience allows me to discover new texts and to foster (at least I hope so) the emergence of new talents. Good luck to everyone.

Espèces d’auteurs festival
On Saturday March 18, 2023, I have been to le festival espèces d’auteurs organized by la Société des Gens de Lettres in Paris.
This one began with a conference: writing and living, business project, in a second time, a round table table about reviews.
In the room, only professionals. The contents of the two presentations were interesting and there was a debate, quick question and answers (speakers, authors).
Between the two speeches, different professionals (Association des Traducteurs Littéraires de France, Center National Book, Sofia etc.) answered my questions about a part of my projects and provided information on the specificity of copyright.
