Hello Sylvain, how did you became a writer? Was it your dream from childhood on to become a writer? Btw. I love your books, how you write and how you express. :-) I hope they'll be translated into German one day so that my friends can read them as well. Best wishes from Germany

Hello Cerstin,
Guten Tag und vielen dank. I hope that the novels will be translated into German, as well.
I've always enjoyed writing but like most prospective writers, I was told and later believed that it was not a practical profession. I'm fortunate that later in life I was able to start writing again (as a hobby) and that my hobby has been transformed into a profession.
One thing I've learned is that one should do what one loves - whether it pays the bills or not. Sometimes a hobby that one delights in brings so much joy to life, it would be a shame to discard it because it isn't practical.
So whether it's writing or other creative endeavours, I'd encourage others to follow their passions and enjoy them. And don't let someone tell you they aren't practical. If everything were practical, we wouldn't have beautiful artwork to enjoy. SR

Hi! My questions are, 1. After creating and delving into a world of fiction, How do you leave after being so emotionally invested? 2. Have you ever had trouble letting go ? 3. You mentioned that you write in order to explore certain themes. What have you learned most about each theme, that has resonated with you, and has this in a way allowed you to understand your own experiences? Thanks!

Hello Sylvain. I've just finished reading Dante's Inferno, a profound trip for any human being. Among the characters mentioned there I've noticed the presence of mythological creatures. Maybe Ulysses and Achilles were real persons, but it's difficult to accept that the Cerberus existed. I've listened to some lectures on Dante but found nothing. What is your opinion on Dante's decision to do it?
