I’m an International Writer & Creator

This photo was taken during a guided visit to the Pâtures d’Argentan, a protected biodiversity site in Normandy, where my son Oninao and I explored our relationship with the living world.
We lived in close contact with nature every day: tending our vegetable garden, caring for our ten trees — our faithful guardians — and observing wildlife in the Norman bocage, including a doe with her fawn watching me peacefully.
Living in a region where horses are part of everyday life naturally influenced my storytelling, the horse emerging as a companion figure in my tale.
