__________________________<\/p>\n

Was<\/em> is a novel in progress I started in November 2009 for NaNoWriMo<\/a>. Over the past few years, it’s been providing me with quite some fun.<\/p>\n
\n

The first volume, Was<\/em> itself, weaves two major plotlines: one set in 2009 London, and the other in 1989 Paris. Light is also shed on several other events in 1654, 2008 and a few other significant dates (significant for the ones involved, that is). All the while, it follows the steps of several characters whose lives slowly become tangled after they witness strange occurrings closely linked to the world of the dead.<\/p>\n

The second volume, Is<\/em>, focuses on the 2009 arc, its other main timeframe being 1943 and\u2014again\u2014a couple of others.<\/p>\n

This story only exists in English; for the time being, I have no plans of translating it. However, I do plan on self-publishing it as an ebook, since this is an experiment I definitely want to make. As a prelude to this, you can read the novel online here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Was<\/em> est un roman en cours, commenc\u00e9 en 2009 pour NaNoWriMo<\/a>. Ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, il m’a fourni un certain nombre d’occasions de m’amuser.<\/p>\n

Le premier volume, Was<\/em> lui-m\u00eame, tisse deux intrigues majeures: l’une \u00e0 Londres en 2009, et l’autre \u00e0 Paris en 1989. D’autres \u00e9v\u00e9nements se font jour \u00e9galement, en particulier en 1654, 2008 et autres dates significatives (pour les int\u00e9ress\u00e9s, s’entend). L’histoire suit les traces de plusieurs personnages dont les vies se retrouvent li\u00e9es apr\u00e8s qu’ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 t\u00e9moins d’\u00e9tranges manifestations li\u00e9es de pr\u00e8s au monde des morts.<\/p>\n

Le second volume, Is<\/em>, se concentre sur la partie 2009, son autre intrigue majeure se situant en 1943 et \u2013 l\u00e0 encore \u2013 quelques autres p\u00e9riodes.<\/p>\n

Cette histoire n’existe qu’en anglais; pour le moment, je n’ai pas l’intention de la traduire. Cependant, je compte la faire para\u00eetre en auto-publication sous forme d’ebook, car c’est une exp\u00e9rience que j’ai vraiment envie de tenter. En guise de pr\u00e9lude \u00e0 cela, le roman est en ligne ici<\/a>.<\/div>
