The author
Many authors, independent or not, say that for as long as they can remember, they have always wanted to be a novelist.
I would be lying to you if I said that I did too.
No, my first passion was drawing.
When my elementary school friends were learning to read by trying to tear up their first Child book, I was already immersed in my Marvel and DC comics.
I didn't know who Enid Blyton was, let alone George Chaulet, but I boasted that I knew who Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and John Romita were.
I was amused to find my first comics in my drawer, drawn in large-square school notebooks.
The passion for writing didn't come to me until much later, when I stopped drawing stories spontaneously and realized that, first and foremost, I had to build a script.
In 2014, The Columns of Time was, at first, the scenario of a comic book, a comic book that became a novel before ending up as a novel.
If it is far from perfect (but what novel can really claim to be?), it remains my very first "work" and was the start of a passion for writing that has, since then, never left me.
I am now writing my seventh novel and I don't intend to stop there!
