I’ve always thought it was essential in any profession to support each other. When I’m prospecting for a potential book festival, meeting other authors is not always about networking. It’s also about sharing experiences.
On Friday, September 24, I went to the festival of detective fiction and adventure in Port Barcarès to attend a conference on the theme: “to be attached to the daily facts or to draw its inspiration from the imaginary? The main guests of the conference were the authors Fabio Mitchelli and Fabrice Papillon. I found their intervention enriching and there was indeed something to think about. I also bought two books and discussed with their authors Christophe Corvaisier and Paul Beorn. We talked about our way of writing which is specific to each author and we encouraged each other.
My coming to this festival was also the occasion to close in my mind “duel in Albi” in which I made a very brief allusion to the boat where this festival was. Now, I feel free to devote myself mentally to my new book.
