I’ve gathered here some of the questions I’m most frequently asked about the Velvet Library and the Timenauts universe and me. If you have any other questions or need further details, feel free to reach out through the contact page.
Q: What formats are the books available in?
A: Books are available as ebooks
Q: Do you offer the book in any format other than digital?
A: Not at the moment. When the 10-book series is complete, I plan to offer it as a printed bundle. The reason is purely economic — after platform distribution costs, a digital sale leaves about$4.45 before marketing expenses, whereas a printed copy leaves closer to $1.50 per sale. Given the niche nature of the series, it’s not realistic to sustain the project on such a small margin from print sales alone.
Q: Do you use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in your work?
A: Yes, I use AI as part of my creative process, primarily to generate the images you see — the rich, mysterious visuals that frame the stories and set the tone. I also rely on tools like ProWritingAid and AutoCrit to refine my drafts, catch spelling mistakes (I’m French, so it helps a lot), and ensure clarity while keeping the depth and rhythm of the writing. I use GPT and Perplexity for research, to explore references in philosophy, mysticism, sexuality, or neuroscience, and to test how ideas resonate in different contexts.
But the core storytelling — the vision, the architecture of the world, the characters’ voices, and the emotional charge — comes entirely from me. My imagination, my experience, and my years of reflection are what shape the narrative. AI is an instrument, like a lens or a compass, but the journey and the map are mine.
