My current literary projects — manuscripts registered, protected, and a trilogy in the making

A committed author, a novelist of French memory

Writing never stops at the last page of a published book. Beyond my works released by Éditions Le Lys Bleu, I am working in parallel on several manuscripts — moving between the intimate, French memory, political chronicle and noir fiction. Each one is registered and protected with Édith & Nous and the SGDL (Société des Gens de Lettres), to guarantee its anteriority and literary ownership.

My method: from scribbles to the table of contents

From my office in Azay-le-Rideau, in the heart of the Val de Loire, I write following a five-step path: the pitch, the storyline, the synopsis, the outline, then the table of contents. I deliberately work on two manuscripts at once: switching from one to the other gives me a fresh eye and a sharper judgment.

The Ténèbres de cités trilogy

Born from my observation of drug trafficking and France's fractures, this novelistic and political trilogy unfolds in three volumes: Volume 1 — Chronique d'une narco-République (released on 31 May 2026, Le Lys Bleu); Volume 2 — Narco-démocratie, chronique d'un pays sous tension (forthcoming in September 2026); Volume 3 — Les souverains de cendre (forthcoming in May 2027).

Other manuscripts in progress

In parallel, I am developing a historical novel rooted in the Val de Loire, an intimate story about family transmission, and a shorter project in the vein of a writer's journal.

Why register and protect your manuscripts?

Because timestamping and legal anteriority protect the work even before it is published.A simple reflex, essential for any author.
