My life has been so chaotic it's embarassing so I won't go into the details. Anyway, after working as a security guard in Paris and Lyon I found myself unemployed but the unemployment office didn't insisted that I get a job as an English teacher but they mostly want junior year abroad kids so they can cheat them so I spent my time writing. I chose crime fiction because well I'd been working in security (though I didn't really come that much into contact with real criminals more like wanna be criminals). Since then I've written a novella, a novel, and several screenplays (one of which I made into a feature length video movie).
