My third novel will be released this summer. But in the meantime, for those who have not yet had the opportunity to read them, my first two novels in French are available in e-book and in paper format ! You will discover the love stories of Henryk and James in Paris at the end of the 19th century, and of Nathan and Neal in New York under McCarthyism. Love, art, romanticism, eroticism, something to make your heart beat. <3

Bonne lecture !

I illustrated one of the scenes from my first novel: Paris, 1899.

James Aylin, one of the two heroes, spends the night in his lover Henryk’s attic. When he wakes up, Henryk is drawing him.  ❤️ "Dawn was not yet there but a pale white light was already bathing the sky of Paris. James woke up slowly. He shivered, his shoulder was bare and the room was chilly. He groaned as he tried to curl up more in the sheets. His mattress smelled oddly of dust and he couldn't recognize the smell of his pillow. His memory took a few moments to remind him that he was not in his room, not in his bed, not in his daily life as a young bourgeois in his fine neighborhoods. He opened his eyes wide, his heart racing. Everything came back in his mind : the cabaret, the rain, Henryk, the attic, his hands on him and his mouth on ... Oh Dear Lord ! He straightened up suddenly. The canvas sheet and the rough blanket, which half covered him, slid over his waist. He was entirely naked ! "

And on AO3 !  if you want to read this extract in French.

And on RedBubble where you can find postcards, stickers, print and little cute stuffs with this on it !

An extraordinary moment today at the Paris Book Fair, where I met my readers at my first signing session for "Paris, 1899". Girls, you have been so welcoming and lovely: THANK YOU SOOOOO VERY MUCH! My book was out of stock on the second day of the event !! I can’t believe it ! Thank you all for your support and your enthusiasm.

And I even received a fan gift: this very pretty embroidered fabric bag! It's a gift from Modestine, a reader who made it especially to give it to me, I'm so happy! Thanks again !
