An Almost Impossible Story is an audiobook I have written, narrated and produced. Wait a minute - "narrated" isn't the right word! I perform 45 voice characters in this coming-of-age magical-realist dramatic comedy with bite. You laugh along with the improbable hero, Richard Grey, as he survives childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, helping his mother recover from illness, discovering family secrets, occasionally meeting up with the elusive "girl next door" Chloé Trahan, and (literally) running into a colourful cast of quirky characters.
I have worked as an award-winning journalist, reporting from six continents, then served as CEO of a medical research association, then as university professor in Canada and the United States. I have a PhD in the History of Science at McGill University and did a postgraduate year in Medical Sciences at Oxford University.
Working interchangeably in English and French, I create for young people, and the young at heart - people who want to challenge and be challenged in return.
I divide my time between writing, literary translation and film-making.
