Back from adventure!

Travel has always been a source of inspiration for any story. Recently back from a "North-South trek" in the gorges of the Mgoun, Morocco, still hard to re-adapt but lots of ideas, colours, sounds and feelings from the beautiful and remote Atlas Mountains. A great group of fellow trekkers, an exceptional leader-guide in the form of M. Bakal, not to mention the master cook, Brahim and his super team of muleteers. Budding writers get out of your box and serendipity will play its part. Look up Terre d'Aventure http://www.terdav.com/ for a stunning experience! Photos taken from the phone - others coming soon...

A long road for great music!

Well, well... dunno if I'm early, late or simply lucky but if you've been waiting in vain since Oasis and Blur in the 90s for something great on the music scene, then here it is: a chance snippet on the radio while driving the old bus and then discovery - Alabama Shakes with a stunning song called "Hold On"! Kinda makes you believe again... Enjoy! :-) Please keep raw and God save you from the marketing machine...

Learning from rejection

It was always (and still is) a tough period of waiting for a decision from the publisher. But with the help of a little experience, tips, tools and models, rejection can be a positive springboard for finally getting your book published.
