About me! Hi, I am Jacques 👋 I was born in the Deep South of Martinique, a small island located in the Lesser Antilles. The place where I grew up as a child is vibrant with atmosphere and magic. It is so magic that it prompted me to be a novelist. I have a passion for describing tropical sceneries and exploring the heart and soul of the West Indian people. My first published novel is entitled "An Endless Quest for Love" (it was originally released under the title "Ce Que l'Amour Peut Faire")... LOVE is the essence 💚 I am inviting you, as a guide and an author, to uncover the places and atmospheres depicted in the novel, and share the passion and emotions
