Many years now, about twenty I would say, but thirty if i really count, at first like a need to keep memory of my thoughts ( a writer feels when his thoughts are interesting or even valuable), then at the age of 27, a first nover Voyage(s) came to me in French as I was living in London and had bought my first personnal pc, running with Windows 95... for 80 £.
Then a second novel arrived in Montreal, Passage in 2002.
Writing is not my decision, it is a lot more subtil than that. It is a way to find the heavens. The heavens are in the mind first.
I think I am writing under influence of the Gods.
And I think that my writing influence my life, a lot of things in my life.
So, let us say that I am living under influence.

This is a very strange thing: how books come into someone's life. By chance, by luck, by destiny. Sychronicities with books you know what I mean... You need some at a time, and they arrive by chance. Sometimes I go to a library and I just feel guided to the ones I finally find. Books are immortal in a way. The Argentin writer, Jorge Luis Borges felt the same kind of thinks about books and their powers. He is a Kind of a friend for me, through time and texts. Carl Gustav Jung the Swiss psychologist too, friend too.
