ABOUT ME
Why I write
Writing came to me as a refuge. After the loss of my father and a difficult divorce, I found in words a way of transforming pain into peace. As a committed writer, I write French-language novels to awaken consciences, soothe hearts and sow light where there is darkness.

The saga of the Heart of Kinshasa
A powerful journey of love, faith, and resilience set against the vibrant backdrop of Congo. This saga reveals the struggles and hopes of a people while celebrating the strength of the human spirit.
A STORY TO REMEMBER
The Heart of Kinshasa Saga Volume 1: Ifoku
At 23, I thought I had life figured out: a good job, charitable commitments, an education based on the Christian faith and African values. But everything changed when Ifoku, my childhood friend, reappeared and awakened unsuspected emotions in me. What started out as nostalgia turned into an intense, confusing love story that challenged all my certainties.
Set in the dynamic city of Kinshasa in the early 2000s, Ifoku is the first committed French-language novel in the literary saga Le Cœur de Kinshasa. Through the eyes of Mukole, I invite you to explore love, identity, inner tensions and the power of emotions. A deeply human contemporary African novel, where every feeling becomes a revelation.
Available in French. Paperback and e-book.
