R is for Raisonneur

No I haven't slipped a french word in my english A to Z. (I have plenty of opportunity on my french blog to do so.) What is a raisonneur? It's a person in a play or a  book embodying author's viewpoint. Isn't it interesting? That kind of role was encountered most frequently in European plays of…

M is for Minions

These are the characters that we love last in any stories. You know, the loyal companion of a witch, a warlock or any fantastic or magical being. I want to take this opportunity to honor all the minions that we forget in all the great books that we read. OK now, the only one I…

Cover reveal

A month ago , I shared here that I won a 24h Steampunk short story challenge. Here is the cover, revealed this week by Elenya-Editions. I can't wait to read the 11 other short stories that won the challenge too. Also, they say that there will be other images in the book. I'll show you the…

Where I’ve been…

It becomes redundant this post about "where I've been?". What I've been doing that keeps me away from my blog... Well honey'zzz, I've published a book. (YEAH!) I told you before that my primary language is french, so of course, my first publication would be in french. If you want to take a peak on…

W as in WHO? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? WHY?

Let's play a little game with the  5 basic questions to answer when you want to tell a story. I'll share a few of the things I like.

Q is for Quizzical

QUIZZICAL 1. Suggesting puzzlement; questioning. 2. Teasing; mocking. 3. Eccentric; odd. The definition I prefer: questioning and mocking or supercilious a quizzical look. I read a lot of book in english and I take notes of words that I find interesting, hoping I might use them in a future story. QUIZZICAL is one of them. Actually it's the only one…

Just hold your breath… this too shall past

So, I was supposed to be celebrating this week-end. Celebrating my first e-book. It's not happening. USB stick is not cooperating. Or computer just doesn't wish to be associated with my key anymore. My son will take care of that, somewhere this week. In the meantime, I breathe. No really, I am holding my breath...…

Not far away and busy

Or, what I have been up too lately, that makes me neglect my blog. A book. Not writing a book, but actually a book I already wrote. (I say a bit more in here: Ambrozya in french It is an open invitation, if you speak french of course. 🙂 ) So, I have been busy preparing this…

Abandonned books…

Really? An abandonned library? Would I be able to just close the door on my heart and let all the words, ideas and stories sit there...                            forgotten... Photo by Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre
