Dominique Rousseau, storyteller and double bassist

Me, I liked it. She sent me an email asking if it would be possible for her to write a tale or tales on the subject of UFOs using the character "Petit Jean," also known as "Fouille-crotte." I found that amusing, and I wonder what she will come up with. But it's not because she took this step that I felt like talking about her work. I just liked it. I don't automatically react positively to everything that is sent to me. Moreover, she hadn't sent me anything, and I was curious enough to listen to her on her website:

According to her request, she sent me two MP3s that she had, which are actually beginnings of tales. It's a series about the Inuit. I find her voice captivating. The musical accompaniment is discreet, but it provides a rhythm, like a beating heart.
En this moment I am writing tales, for children and for all audiences. I write them, and others will appear, or will appear in the form of comics,
like this one.
Here it's a kind of scientific tale. But I don't plan to stop there. You couldn't imagine what I've already written. Science fiction? No, you're completely wrong. Just what came into my head and that I wanted to tell myself. My wife and I are going to publish these books ourselves. I'll also mention that I only had to dig through my boxes to find lots of entire books that had been rejected by publishers. Unclassifiable things, which they couldn't classify. And an editor, if he can't classify into a genre, is lost. Here, the publisher will be me, it will be us. In this way we'll be able to function with sales ten times lower. And indeed, what is more wonderful than tales? Why don't our media broadcast them?
Contrary, a tale is kind, it makes you dream.
My mind flies away, like a falcon,
say the Indians.
Make yourself comfortable in a good armchair. Close your eyes. Imagine yourself in the North, with a white expanse before you, swept by the wind, and listen:
