He currently lives in Ottawa, Ontario. Love of books He remembers falling in love with reading at a very young age (grade three seems about right). He didn’t read big long novel then, preferring comic books like Tintin, Asterisk, Hulk, and most other Super Heroes. As a teenager, he discovered Bob Morane and then Stephen King, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clark, and Frank Herbert. His first attempt at writing was when he was 12 and tried to create in his own comic book. In 1983 he started his first French novel and gave up after hand writing 30 pages. Finally, in January 1985, he started a sci-fi novel that he would finish 2 years later. Over the years, numerous other novels were written (8) but it wasn’t until 2010, when he wrote IT HAPPENED TO US, that he’d finally written a story that he truly loved. He also has two other novels that he wrote just before IT HAPPENED TO US and plans to work on in 2015.показать меньше
