A STORY BORN IN MEXICO

A book born from an image I had last summer in Mexico. At that time of year, tropical rainfall is very frequent. These rains do not last long but are very heavy, sometimes accompanied by strong winds. I was in my living room, the power had gone out, which happens very often there, and I had lit several candles to light the room...I watched the palm trees swaying violently through the large window, the torrential rain falling fast. Looking at the rough sea... an image filled my mind, a boat sailing at speed... I took a sheet of paper and started writing... the pen flowed quickly and the words came out fast, and without realizing it, I had written several pages. The characters in the book are people I have met during my travels. I took inspiration from them, changing their names and romanticizing a little. This is how my stories are born, from images and stories of people I meet, and all this alchemy then becomes... a novel.
