Meet Jean-François Maillet, a local writer, during a conference during which he will share his passion for writing by presenting his way of writing, his sources of inspiration, etc.

Jean-François Maillet is a writer of crime novels, thrillers, detective novels and heroin-fantasy for youth.
Born in Reims, he is currently a kindergarten teacher in Esternay. He discovered “Ten Little Negroes” at the age of 12 and started writing. Until the age of twenty, he wrote about thirty novels on notebooks, never published.
Loving to tell stories, he discovered the pleasure of working with style and words around the age of thirty by telling the life of his grandmother who knew the two world wars.
Passionate about crime novels, he wrote five detective novels and two thrillers. He also released a fantastic trilogy, The Dragon Race, in collaboration with his son Edwin.
For his new thriller, released in October 2021, he wanted to talk about Brittany and especially the islands of the Iroise Sea. He made several stays on the island of Ouessant and he fell in love with this region. He also wanted to evoke Agatha Christie.
