As part of the accessibility of digital books, the reading tool is very important. It must be adapted. Currently, very few e-reader models can both read text in audio and allow correct navigation. When I talk about navigation, I mean keys allowing you to move through the text and select actions indicated in the menu.
For my part, I tried a first model that was lent to me some time ago. He read the text of my book, which is quite astonishing and which, for people whose need arises, proves very useful function text to speech. Enlarging sans serif fonts is also an essential feature for reading digital books.
Music and inspirations
I really like Music, it accompanies me in professional life as well as in private life.
If I publish this post today it is also to talk about the importance I attach to listening to all styles of music, multicultural enrichment and meetings during festivals and concerts whatever they may be large or small sizes.
This weekend, I listened to the group Cuerteto Tafi as part of the Aspres spring festival. An event that I particularly like and for which I would like to post a link today so that you can discover a list of artists with open sounds and horizons.
“They can cut off all the flowers, they won’t stop spring.” an inspired quote from Pablo Neruda pronounced by the band during the concert

Through History and Literature
From March 8 to 22, 2024, events around women’s rights week took place in libraries and other cultural places in my area.
At the start of the week, I listened to extracts from several books by women authors during an evening hosted by a feminist reading club. During these discussions, several specific points were shed light on. After the club’s intervention, I added a comment on the vision of witches through History and Literature.
Later in the week, I attended a conference on the role of women during antiquity and in particular as philosopher.
Among the books proposed, I opted to read the novel the daughters of Egalie written by Gerd Branterberg.
In another setting, I read also rock’n roll witch from Pleasant Gehman who I worked on documentation about Fantastic L.A.
Currently, I am devoting myself to several artistic projects, however taking the time to discover and discuss current themes enriches my thoughts.
Thought 0518
What is the difference between science fiction and fantasy? the most widespread idea is that science fiction would not contain magic elements and would be oriented more towards stories more rooted in reality with many references to new technologies. This is not always accurate, there are special cases in the literature. As an author I think that the barrier between fantasy and science fiction must be crossed without any qualms. And the same goes for fantasy, crime fiction and historical fiction. It does not matter the classification given by a publishing house and the radius that my book will integrate in a bookstore, a public library and on a website. There is certainly a logic. ,However in terms of writing, I don’t currently want to lock myself into a genre or a style with predefined codes.
