I was there for the birth of every one of those foals—it was my greatest passion. And even today, despite everything that’s happened to me, that’s what interests me most: the next foal to be born. Watching it stand up, hesitating, stumbling, clinging to its mother, suckling—all that—and then running, and growing, and soon winning a race, before giving birth to other foals, and so on. Some horses become champions; you just have to let them run, and they go faster than the others. Why? It’s a mystery. At least that’s what those who own a champion claim: “It’s a mystery.” But should we believe them? Haven’t they, in truth, found the magic potion?


Tous ces poulains, j'ai assisté à leur naissance, c'était ma grande passion. Et aujourd'hui encore, malgré tout ce qui m'est arrivé, c'est ce qui m'intéresse le plus : le prochain poulain à naître. Le voir se lever, hésitant, trébucher, se coller à sa mère, téter, tout ça, et puis courir, et grandir, et bientôt gagner une course, avant de donner naissance à d'autres poulains, et ainsi de suite. Certains chevaux deviennent des cracks, il suffit de les faire courir, ils vont plus vite que les autres. Pourquoi ? C'est un mystère. Du moins c'est ce que prétendent ceux qui ont un crack : « Mystère et boule de gomme. » Mais faut-il les croire ? N'ont-ils pas, en vérité, trouvé la potion magique ?

FAQ

Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!

Are the books New?

Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.

What defines the prices of the books?

As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.

Do you have a shop?

My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine. I also have a physical location present in Orange County accessible via appointment only. Please contact me through text to get more information!
