About My Books

One thing that can help push the limits of science is imagination. Combining my scientific background with storytelling, I write fiction that invites the readers to question their assumptions about our world, who we are as a species and where we want to go. We are not alone on this planet, and every single story deserves to be told.

Le Plafond

Science-fiction novel exploring how we react to difference

There, in the Around, danger lurks. In the Around, the People leads a peaceful existence, suspended between the Ground and the Ceiling. But a threat is growing in the shadows: death is approaching. The Others are coming. Faced with this imminent danger, there is only one question, and there will be only one answer: are the Others allies or enemies?

💬 AMAZING REVIEW

Recent review of my novel from an anonymous reader.

I've just had my first reviews from anonymous readers! I could not have imagined such a better comment. Being compared to the Little Prince when my first name literally means "little prince" is just the cherry on top. Readers do write better than writers!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read my novel and share their thoughts.

✍️ SIGNING SESSION AT LA LIBRAIRIE, DUNKIRK

I did my very first signing session at one of my favourite bookstores in my hometown: La Librairie, in Dunkirk.

Thanks to everyone who came by, whether familiar or unfamiliar faces, and thanks to Christophe who enabled me to have this wonderful moment. All copies were sold, I could not have dreamt of a better start for my novel!
