He has a PhD in Literature from the Université de Paris - Sorbonne Nouvelle, and is currently an invited lecturer in several Paris universities.

Unreal City is his first published novel, but there are several others waiting in the wings. He has recently moved to Aquitaine, where he lives in an eerie old house in a village full of mysteries and secrets, with his wife, his two children, a Wicked Uncle, and two and a half cats.
