Il est paru ! 'Plus Pour Tous', le roman qui interpelle sur les inégalités, la fiction haletante sur la plus vive anomalie de notre société, est disponible en cliquant sur le lien. Et le sera en librairie courant septembre.

It's here! It's on its way! Plus Pour Tous' will be out in just a few days! Teasers to follow on Insta, then a campaign during the autumn - when inequalities will undoubtedly be on the menu of politics and civil society. Stay tuned!

My next novel - about inequality - will eventually be called ‘Plus Pour Tous’ (More For All). It's simple and it's exactly the subject: how to better share the wealth created by economic activity, which is excessively concentrated in the hands of too few. Will an old Marxist survivor of May 68, who believed in it back then, and two or three idealists from Silicon Valley find the formula? Will they already be able to tune their own violins? And the villain of the piece, billionaire Eldon Miller, is determined to sabotage, or corrupt, their plans. I'm putting the finishing touches to it. See you very soon!

Éditions Éclair's third edition of ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’ is out on Amazon and Kindle in matt black ‘Black Collector’! Just a few days before COP28, which will be presided over by an arsonist, this committed novel remains poignantly topical...

I spent the first half of the year working on the first draft of my next novel, which has now been completed - under the working title of ‘Sandeka’. It features the same protagonists, this time tackling inequality: how can some people own hundreds of billions while the majority earn an average salary of a few thousand euros a month? Now comes the phase of consolidating and re-reading the text. Released in 2024, with a few teasers to follow!

Preparation for the republication of ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’, which was out of print, by Éditions de l'Éclair for the autumn as a Black Edition. The fight for the climate is still a disaster, and inaction is now being compounded by the inertia of the feeling that the transition is under way - even though it is still far too slow and held back by the fossil fuel industry. This hard-hitting book is as topical as ever.

The Festival du Làc in Collonge-Bellerive on Sunday 2 October 2022 was a great success, as were the presentations of ‘Le Jour où Apple a acheté la Grèce...’ and ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’! Compliments, fans, interest, debate. It was wonderful! Thank you very much.

Release of ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’ in English. And with COP27 just around the corner, the subject and plot are all the more topical.

Signing session for ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’ at Calamart 13 Grand'Rue in Geneva from 6pm to 8pm!

Very good article in ‘Entreprise Romande’ - L'économie au travers d'une œuvre: Un thriller économico-climatique pour secouer les consciences.

Portrayal and close questioning ;) by Pauline Vrolixs and Simon Matthey-Doret on RSR La Première in ‘Drôle d'Epoque’ - fascinating discussion on the subjects of ‘Le Jour où Apple a acheté la Grèce...’ and ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’. Book signing to be held in Geneva in May.

Did you know that the ‘working title’ of ‘The Day Apple Bought Greece...’ was ‘Apple vs. Greece’? The idea was to illustrate the ‘fight’ that took place between Apple and Greece, even if it wasn't legal. And to keep the title in English. Not suitable for the French market for Albin Michel, and probably rightly so. Ministère Mondial du Climat' is a continuation of the adventures of the main characters. And the latter has boosted sales of the former.

Portrait by Sébastien Ruche in Le Temps - and do we need a Red Army Faction... Green Army? The question arises, as does getting things done through civil disobedience and... legislation. Also promoted in Livres Hebdo - and the press and bookseller kit with synopsis available here under Press.

Shh, it's for January, with Swiss promo to come (but the link already works): ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’ is available online in Switzerland, printed in Switzerland by ISCA/Slatkine!

Did you know? The working title of ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’ was ‘Climate Change’. Because of the double entendre between global warming and - it has to be provoked - a change in the political climate. But the title wasn't intriguing enough for a thriller, and publishers have a problem with having an English title for a French book... Even at a time when everyone is starting to speak their own language in series... But ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’ quickly became the appropriate title. That's what we need...

Very good reviews of ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’ on Babelio, Amazon, Babelio, and Babelio. And publication in Switzerland by ISCA next week. :)

Already available in Switzerland via Amazon.fr, which delivers throughout Europe in 48 hours, ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’ is now available on the Payot.ch and Fnac.ch websites! For Swiss readers, prefer Payot, Fnac and Amazon. Librinova is slower and less efficient for shipping to Switzerland...

After more excellent online reviews, the first press articles appeared in Le Magazine Suisse et Côte on 21 November, p. 32! And more to come.

It has to be said that the predicted failure of COP 26 is right in line with the ‘World Climate Ministry’, which explains the reasons for it, the obstacles and the resistance... And why justice should be an ally of the climate cause when in fact it serves... the capitalist fossil fuel system...

On Librinova, Babelio, Kobo, Amazon, a first series of very good reviews of ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’! :)

First public review by Anis0206 :)

The first version of ‘Ministère Mondial du Climat’ has been published in France! Available in paperback and e-book from Librinova, FNAC, Kobo, Amazon, Cultura, etc.

The latest IPCC report is clear: global warming is occurring faster than predicted, and what is being done and planned is far from sufficient... With a little help from my friends... as the Beatles sang?

Perhaps we will have to... To be continued in ‘World Climate Ministry’!

New York Times du 7 juillet 2021 :

Et si la démocratie américaine échouait face à la crise climatique ?

Ezra Klein et quatre penseurs de l'environnement discutent des limites de la politique pour faire face à la menace qui pèse sur la planète. Exactement dans la cible de 'Ministère Mondial du Climat' !
