I always liked public libraries. When I was a student at the university, they were a great place to make researches, learn and drink a coffee.
To meet a public at the club and to find my book Fantastic L.A close to the others authors was fun.
Thank you to the public library and club lecture member 🙂
I really like to combine skills on an artistic project. For example, after writing a text and dialogues, composing music allows me to visualize the whole thing and explore different formats.

As I most certainly said before, when writing my book Fantastic L.A. I drew certain elements and added details that allowed me to move forward in the writing. Today I present to you the stagecoach of Fantastic L.A.
Itinerary :
Use the wind. Choose a route with a starting point in the direction of the wind. The routes are not known until the day before departure.

Equipage :
– Choose horses resistant to bad weather (thick coat protecting them from snow and rain).
– Change the hitch at each belay to avoid tiring the horses. Give them water and feed them well.
– Use specific harnesses and straps leaving them free to move while allowing support while driving.
– Horseshoes and hooves. Change, clean, brush.

Feedback about this event
We were 35 authors and everything went well. I met the public and professionals. My conversation about the fantastic novel met some success. I enjoyed working on this theme with Elisabet Guillot and Catherine Barcelonne and listened to readings of other authors. Thank you all.
On Friday, I went to the Book Festival by train. This event allowed me to discover new authors who came especially from India. I acquire knowledge about myths influences. I attended two conferences, one of them was on Indian literature and the other on the emergence of children’s books.
Then, during a literary café organized by various organizations, I learned about the evolution of the market through a survey of formats (print, digital and audio). Then, I made contact with a few publishing houses, bought 2 books as well as the quarterly magazine Alibi (thriller). A busy professional day.
On the night of April 10, I dreamed of the heroine of my future fiction. I had been working for several days looking for ideas and documenting myself on several subjects. I felt like my notes were deep and correct but I couldn’t visualize my main character.
Then, during a dream, she appeared, playing one of the scenes from my book as if she were participating in the writing. She showed me something I hadn’t thought of. We then discussed his suggestion without having to introduce each other. It was the first time I experienced this and I feel relieved knowing that we are definitely on the right path.
Last weekend I went to an exhibit and documentary movie about spies. What could be more exciting for an author than to go on search of disturbing historical facts?
The exhibition featured photographs of unusual objects that had belonged to secret agents and it was fascinating. Some of them were known from the people, others not. Not to be famous was certainly one of their quality at that time to preserve them.
The end of the exhibition ended with a set of 8 portraits of famous and incredible female spies.
The documentary film was titled “The Spies Who Came From Hollywood”. He recounted the important role played by a large number of artists during the Second World War.
