About my novels
I write novels that could be described as morals and adventures. A work of fiction to which is added a joyful mixture of personal experiences, incredible action, and phantasmagorical phenomena.
With my series The Adventures of Michel O’toll, I take my readership beyond exotic history or detective intrigue. I always take a critical look at various social issues in our world while introducing people to the cultural richness of the country where the action takes place, sometimes with humor, but always with respect for differences.
More anti-hero than hero, Michel O’toll is, in many ways, my alter ego. Like him, I was a journalist-writer; like him, I have traveled the world in search of discoveries, adventures, or as a volunteer…
Llanganati
The Forbidden Treasure
(ePub, 2025)
Michel O'toll flies to Quito to try to elucidate the circumstances surrounding the disappearance and tragic death of his friend Paul Duclos. However, he finds himself drawn into an incredible adventure when he discovers that his friend was murdered by obscure Inca treasure hunters. His quest to unmask them will lead him to the strange world of the Llanganati Mountains.
In doing so, he will cross paths with characters as colorful as they are surprising, including a charming compatriot who is a follower of the I Ching; an old Chilean friend who is as courageous as he is rustic; an intriguing Hacienda owner; a skillful and insightful Indian guide; and a yachag, a kind of medicine man, who can read the future and speak with the dead! The latter will warn Michel O'toll as he enters the Llanganati Mountains: "Be careful not to go beyond the permissive!"
