Bad news  The probability that I'll be able to perform my composition is close to 0. It's really too hard to find musicians to play it without paying the huge price. I still have a hope, but I'm not very optimistic.
Good news  my first novel is now avalaible.
Available everywhere!

O too bad, Although I was not able to come, due to the Parague Meeting.
BTW how do I get an autographed copy of that book?
Is it buy it and hope to meet the writer sometime and then ask politely if he would consider to sign it?

The second is ask me to send it to you directly with the autrograph

Congratulations, masked! Composer of words! Impressive.
BTW: How many "Necromants" are there in the picture on the cover?

I'm sorry this didn't work out, platy but I'm not
sorry to learn about your book.  I'd love a copy
too so will send a PM. My daughter can help me read
it since she's good at French.

I decided to create a special topic about this, so I extracted all the old posts from the "personnal celebration" one.
Now, it is time to announce you that the sequel will be available in a few days.
For those who read the first one, I hope you enjoyed it. I'm more proud of this second volume, where you'll go deeper in my story, even if there are still lots of mysteries to solve.
If you want a dedicated one, just use the same way as before.
