Bibliography
Her first novel
Then she met Proust.
What else?
Her first poetry told the life of a butterfly, not very original you’re thinking, but don’t judge too soon, she was only six ! Her first novel showed an incredible dealer lost in the bush, it only takes two pages, but wait, she was ten and her author of choice was Jack London, because of the dogs.
Following these two attempts she spent quite a lot of time in high schools gazing at the pink chestnut tree blossom and reading all there is to be read. Then she met Proust.
Next she attended university, Paris 8, Literature, chinese, spanish and anglo-american, with a preference for Faulkner, Hawthorne and the White Whale.
She taught literature to young people, wrote pedagogic works and articles, before joining the world of photography, fashion and marketing.
She travelled around the world before bringing back some papers and mementos.
But it was time to immerse herself in writing. A river flowing not with honey but with books for young people, novels for adults, scripts and plays. Let’s hope that it becomes a wide river.
She runs creative workshops in high schools, libraries, universities and lives in Paris, which is like a whole country in itself, with one eye watching on Asia and the other la Creuse, so famous in England yet pratically unheard of in France
