Avalon en français

 

Avalon français

Exciting news! Avalon's book is now also available in French. If you've already read the original English version, it would mean a lot to me if you could leave an Amazon and/or Goodreads review (or even just a rating) for the French edition as well. 

*****

J'ai de bonnes nouvelles ! Mon livre sur mon chat, Avalon, est désormais également disponible en français. Si vous avez déjà lu la version originale en anglais, cela signifierait beaucoup pour moi si vous pouviez laisser une critique (ou même juste une note) sur Amazon ou ailleurs pour l'édition française.

New story with Avalon!

horror story about cats

Today marks the pre-release of CLOWDERS, a new supernatural thriller in which Avalon has a central turn. As usual, he plays a very important part in the development of the story.

Clowders is already the fourth book featuring Avalon.


Blurb


Clervaux, Luxembourg. This secluded, picturesque town in the middle of Europe is home to more cats than people. For years, tourists have flocked to this place – also known as “cat haven” - to meet the cats and buy cat-related souvenirs.

When Aidan, Jess and their five-year-old daughter, Eleonore, move from America to Clervaux, it seems as if they've arrived in paradise. It soon becomes clear, though, that the inhabitants' adoration of their cats is unhealthy. According to a local legend, each time a cat dies, nine human lives are taken as a punishment. To tourists, these tales are supernatural folklore, created to frighten children on cold winter nights. But for the inhabitants of Clervaux, the danger is darkly, horrifyingly real.

Initially, Aidan and Jess regard this as local superstition, but when Jess runs over a cat after a night on the town, people start dying, one by one, and each time it happens, a clowder of cats can be seen roaming the premises.

Are they falling victim to the collective paranoia infecting the entire town? Or is something unspeakably evil waiting for them?

Moving to Europe may have been the worst decision they ever made.

Sweet Sixteen

ciné privé gent offscreen film festival

Exactly sixteen years ago today, Avalon came into my life, walking up to me in the streets when I came back from a film festival. Though he's no longer with me, my little movie star is still present at many film festivals in his own way.

On Friday, March 18th, his short film Avalon will be shown at the Ciné Privé short film festival in Ghent, Belgium. All the films will be presented in a church, more in particular in the Circuskerk Malem, Oudstrijderslaan 1 in Ghent.

Click here to see pictures of Avalon on the film set or read the original screenplay (which is free on KindleUnlimited).

That same evening, I will also be signing copies of the books Avalon and When Animals Attack (which features Avalon on the cover) at the Offscreen film festival in Brussels. The signing session starts at half past six and takes place in Cinema Nova, Rue d'Arenberg 3, Brussels.

I hope you will all continue to support this special kitty.

Watch Avalon's latest movie

Do you want to see Avalon's latest short film Next to Her?

I am giving my readers free and exclusive access to the movie which is currently not available anywhere else.

Next to Her tells the story of an elderly man, Maurice, who visits his demented wife in the nursery home. A shared lunch is the only thing they have left, but his wife's mind drifts off to the ghost of her deceased cat Avalon whom she sees walking around in her room.

I'd love to send you the movie so you can all see it. Click here to have access.
