ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I am at the early stage of a writing career. Forever I have been an avid reader, and over the years, stories of my own, have popped into my head. Humbly, but with determination, I have resolved to transfer them on paper. Born in France, I have been from a very young age, fascinated by the English language. Years later, having lived in the USA, I have taken upon myself to write my stories in English, although I also write in French, when I feel the story benefits from it. It has been a challenge, but I have enjoyed every minute of it. At this point, I would be grateful to have the opinion of readers everywhere. As for what genre my writing is? I don't really know, since my stories can differ widely, but all have in common, usually, a specific time period, and death. But, this is why, I really need you, readers, to guide me in this endeavor, and I think we have some interest in common, a really good story.
