Don’t read into my novel. Live your own.
I was an art director, then a trainer and a therapist. I wrote communication materials and courses, and I published popular-science articles on neuroscience with the publisher Raabe. Today, I’ve decided to give away my first novel, The Hammock and the Hummingbirds, and I’ve built a website full of free resources, to make people want to read and create. I dreamt it, I did it!

Book summary
— “The Viking viewed your profile 2 days ago.”
BOOM! I’m ANGRY! This time, it’s NO! BOOM AGAIN! Revelation!… I’m going to write! 47 chapters later… A special dedication:
— “I laughed so hard, and that’s worth all the gold in the world! You do know the Viking never existed?”
3 years earlier. Over the moon at the thought of a romantic adventure with the man she calls “the Viking”, Coraline is about to pay dearly for a trip she was meant to be the heroine of. From the giddy highs of Lower Valhalla to the trap in the Mountain, right up to the crash of a meteorite, the net closes in on her… before the great reset.
Back together on the TV show “Sunday Is Showtime!” for the launch of her novel, the author and her fictional character promise us some spicy exchanges…
The Hammock and the Hummingbirds is a firelighter of a novel: organic, recycled, for your long winter nights. It turns chaos into a creative goldmine, fears into laughter and readers into creators. Zero waste. Very eco-friendly.
