After traveling around several countries, I settled down in Brittany, where I can find everything I need to satisfy my appetite. My wife and I live near the sea, in our cat Mystra’s apartment. In my spare time, I like to ride my motorcycle, go kayaking or hiking, and roll the dice in wild role-playing games. Depending on the day and the time of year, I work at school as an AESH (accompanying educational and social professional), or I sit at my computer working on my current translation.
I translate sapphic romances from English into French. I enjoy making these stories accessible to non-English speakers; it makes me feel like I’m forging a link between the authors and their readers. What I enjoy most is conveying the humor of situations, especially when there are puns or sarcasm. I also really enjoy the debates—not always serious, but always constructive—that we have with the editors at Reines de Cœur.
Between translations, I write my own stories. I have a penchant for fantasy and the fantastic, with a healthy dose of lesbian characters—and a soft spot for warriors, because I can make them do sports for me. Even though my characters have trials to overcome and sometimes go through difficult times, my stories always end well: my main goal is for readers to have a good time.
