Born in 1970 in Paris, Christophe Michaud developed a passion for books at an early age. Avid reader, he devours books and makes the Beaugrenelle library his headquarters. This passion for books inevitably led him to become a bookseller.<\/p>

He practised this profession with conviction before being confronted with the fall of traditional bookshops in the 1990s. He went back to school to study publishing, but he discovered geography, which changed his vision of the world. He then decided to change his objectives to become an urban planner. He moved to Creuse, then to Vienne, and worked in this field for ten years before switching to information systems.<\/p>

He started writing in 2011 and became interested in the Lovecraftian universe, which he brought to life in the CODEX MEMORI\u00c6 series. While these books, illustrated by Sumit Roy, offer an immersive experience through their original layout, it is the clash of the two greatest mythologies of all time that delights readers.<\/p>

With the \"R\u00e9cit fantastique\" collection, short stories in pocket format, he explores historical and social issues.<\/p>

\u00c0 travers Dessine et raconte, il propose aux artistes en herbe de d\u00e9velopper leur imagination en s'amusant \u00e0 dessiner et raconter.<\/p>\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n<\/div> <\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/section>\r\n\r\n

First book, 2012<\/h5>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t

After a year of writing, testing and rewriting, the first draft of \"Sacrifice of the Gods\" is finally ready. The illustrations give the book the desired character and atmosphere. However, the layout is not adapted, too modern. It was therefore a complete redesign to give it a notebook look with a typewriter typography that was finally chosen.<\/p>

Originally, the book was intended to be distributed in digital format only. However, the facilities of print-on-demand made it possible to try and see what a book in paper format would look like. The result is amazing! The Sacrifice of the Gods will therefore be published in a much-appreciated paper edition at the end of 2012.<\/p>

Codex Memori\u00e6, 2015<\/h5>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t

The desire to continue writing after the small success of Sacrifice of the Gods encouraged Christophe Michaud to imagine a story where the main character is an amnesic. The Quine's sanitarium takes shape and Le sacrifice des \u00e2mes du Purgatoire is published in 2015.<\/p>

The concept of a logbook is abandoned in favour of a two-part narrative. Illustrations by the author make the editing process long and complicated, but the result is appealing to the reader.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/section>\r\n\r\n

Fantastic tale, 2017<\/h5>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n

In 2017, a small collection of fantasy stories in pocket format allows Christophe Michaud to let his imagination run wild. These short stories deal with various subjects from a fantastic angle.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n

Codex Memori\u00e6, second edition, 2017<\/h5>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t

After careful consideration, the decision was made to put The Sacrifice of the Gods in the Codex Memori\u00e6 series. This was not the only change. Indeed, the graphic production being too time-consuming, it was decided to call upon Sumit Roy, a talented illustrator.<\/p>

The Sacrifice of the Gods, will only change the cover, the interior illustrations going well with the look of the logbook. The Sacrifice of the Souls in Purgatory will be entirely illustrated by Sumit. This graphic approach makes the production simpler and the matching of text and image easier.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/section>\r\n\r\n

The third part of the dreamlike adventures of the Holy Office investigator will be released in August 2019. The emphasis is on a thriller aspect. The illustrations by Sumit Roy once again support the text. Extensive research into the Paris \"Les Halles\" (fresh food market until 1971) was carried out to capture the Parisian atmosphere of the time.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n

L'envie de cr\u00e9er un ouvrage pour les enfants tarabuste Christophe depuis longtemps. Un concept ludique, simple \u00e0 mettre \u0153uvre, \u00e9merge peu \u00e0 peu.
En combinant des \u00e9l\u00e9ments extr\u00eamement simplifi\u00e9s entre eux, l'enfant est \u00e0 m\u00eame de renouveler ses dessins et de progresser. Le syst\u00e8me de d\u00e9 \u00e0 jouer est int\u00e9gr\u00e9 pour apporter de la diversification et renouveler l'exp\u00e9rience. Associ\u00e9 \u00e0 un guide des couleurs et un syst\u00e8me simplifi\u00e9 pour raconter une histoire, l'enfant a tout ce qu'il faut pour construire sa propre bande dessin\u00e9e. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/section>\r\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
