About Me

I was born on the 22 of october. I'll never do it again, I swear. Writer under the pen name of Patrick Eris (For whoever might care, a bibliography is here : http://nemo.club.fr/eris.html), professionnal translator, screenwriter and playright, anthologist, lyricist (For the French Naheulband and Ad Vitam Aeternam and countless others who never made it to CD), singer with my band Mnemosyne and hopefully some others if the opportunity arises. With a friend, we recently launched our small press imprint http://www.ed-malpertuis.com/index.html. Currently working on a lengthy historical/fantasy novel about the crusades and another thriller set in the seventies. It's hard work, but as Mrs De gaulle said in 1940, watching her husband leaving for London : At least, it keeps him off the streets…

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Very hard to say, because it would mean I'd have something intelligent to tell to those people !

Amongtst mucician, the guys from Anathema and Danny (When shall we finally jam ?), Erk and Aircrag from Hocico (Our movie project is still going on, mail me !), Alexander Veljanov (Your French is great, hope you read this some day !
