Maxime Chattam

HE's my favourite author! (the "he" capital is because I consider Chattam as a god.)

Until the age of fifteen I had never read a detective stories. I often read sci-fi books or..., no it was all. And then a friend of mine showed me "Le 5ème Règne" that was a book with science-fiction and which was actually a detective story with sci-fi. I always used to read it during the day because I was so frightened to read it at night. When I finished this book, I had stars in my eyes (if I can say it so? ) So, I began to read every book that had titles like "Murderers, crime, night, knife, blood". I am scary girl, aren't I? Well, when I was reading these books I was the SCARED girl. ^^

Until now I have read all the stories by Chattam.

I choose to present you Maxime Chattam because I think he's the best author I've ever read, so, here is a little biography:

Maxime Guy Sylvain Drouot, french writer, was born the 19th February 1976 in Herblay, in the Val-d'Oise. He went to university and studied Criminology (by the way, it's one of my study choices, that or medecine).
During his childhood, he often went to United States. He always went to Portland, Oregon. Near Portland there is a little city called Edgecombe, it's there that he wrote "Le 5ème Règne".

After he published "Le 5ème  Règne", he began to write detective stories like "L'Ame du Mal", "In Tenebris" and "Maléfices". Books that revolutionize my way of thinking!

Now he continues to write beautiful and terrific stories that I'll read soon.

As a piece of advice (or as an order) to end well my short article:
                    READ AND ENJOY Maxime Chattam :-) !
