Entre ombres et lumières (Between Shadows and Light)
Testimony — Published in September 2025
An intimate and vibrant account that retraces the journey of an extraordinary life. From childhood to career choices, by way of personal struggles, François-Michel forges a unique path, oscillating between light and darkness. His solitude, far from being a burden, becomes a driving force, offering him the freedom to fully dedicate himself to his passions—from singing to performing, from the hotel industry to writing. A powerful testament to resilience and authenticity.
Éditions Le Lys Bleu, 2025.
Complots et secrets au château (Plots and Secrets at the Castle)
Political satire novel — Published in August 2025
Complots et secrets au château follows the rise of Eudes Moinon, an ambitious young president caught in the intrigues of a power that crushes him. Behind his self-assurance lie narcissism and a thirst for glory. Scandals, rushed reforms, and rivalries transform his term into a masquerade. A prisoner of his own demons, he slides towards an inevitable downfall, in a world where broken promises and buried secrets ultimately dictate the rules of the game.
Upcoming publications
La France de mes 7 ans
Political Chronicle of an Average Frenchman 1956 – 2026
Essay — to be published spring/summer 2026
From 1956 to 2026, seventy years of France seen from the inside. Born in the France of Reconstruction, the author traces a personal and political chronicle spanning seven decades — from de Gaulle to Macron, from the Trente Glorieuses to decline, from the optimism of the 1960s to today's social divide. A political essay where individual memory illuminates the great collective shifts.
Ténèbres de cités
Chronicle of a Narco-Republic
Noir novel — to be published summer 2026
Deep within France's inner cities, where drug traffickers rule and the State has abdicated, an investigative journalist and a turncoat uncover a disturbing truth that plunges them into the depths of a system where political corruption and drug trafficking intertwine up to the highest spheres of power. Between betrayals and redemptions, this documentary noir novel examines contemporary France with unflinching clarity.
