Finalement, je l'ai sortie mon livre!

Il y a 10 ans et plus, j'ai écrit un roman de science-fiction/fantaisie (anglophone) suite au décès de mon père et à une perte d'emploi, quelle période émouvante ! J'avais mis de côté ce projet, car je devais me réorienter et me trouver du travail. Alors, je suis partie à mon compte comme conceptrice graphique/numérique. J'ai fait plusieurs tentatives pour faire publier mon livre dans des maisons d'édition, mais je n'étais pas toujours convaincue ! Alors me voilà aujourd'hui, un pas de plus vers la réalisation du projet "The Fontarabie Experience", publié sur Kindle.

Synopsis of The Fontarabie Experience by Kathleen Albert In The Fontarabie Experience, Kathleen Albert weaves a captivating tale of a woman named Grace, living in a near-future world where extreme climate changes and societal collapse have forced families to become increasingly self-sufficient. Grace, a mother of three gifted daughters —Rosalie, Florence, and Jade—navigates both the challenges of survival and the strange, unexplained phenomena that have begun to invade her life.

Set in a secluded forest home, Grace's life is upended by mysterious, seemingly supernatural occurrences. Her oldest daughter, Rosalie, has the ability to foresee short-term future events, while Florence possesses a voice so powerful it can shatter glass, and Jade has an inexplicable bond with animals, especially birds. Each of these gifts creates both wonder and unease within the family. However, it is Grace's own experiences—strange encounters with unseen forces—that truly stir her sense of the unknown. She begins receiving telepathic images, emotions, and sounds from mysterious beings, possibly from beyond this world. These visions manifest in her artwork—faces she sculpts and paints with uncanny accuracy, channeling the emotions of these mysterious entities.

As Grace grapples with the implications of these encounters, she questions whether her experiences are linked to the survival of her family or something far more profound. The world outside their home is fraught with danger—wild animals are more brazen, resources are scarce, and society is on the brink of collapse. The family’s life is one of constant adaptation, balancing the needs of survival with the strange and inexplicable forces at play. Grace’s connection to the supernatural intensifies as she uncovers truths about her daughters' unique gifts and the possibility of an extraterrestrial or spiritual presence affecting their lives.

The Fontarabie Experience blends family dynamics, personal introspection, and speculative fiction, offering a unique exploration of telepathy, survival, and the mysteries that lie just beyond human understanding. As Grace delves deeper into her own visions, she must confront the uncertain nature of her reality—and the possibility that the answers may be more beautiful and terrifying than she ever imagined.
