about me

I am multicultural, born in France and living in the US. I have been writing as far as I can remember. I love to write about the mysterious connection between sex and our deepest emotions.
I believe that eroticism is the evocation of something beyond description. Like a suggestion of what takes place more than a plain telling of the action at hand.
I love movies and books (of course!) and I love to put film and literature reference in my stories. Actually, each part of "Travels Through Love and Time" has a name connected to a famous book...Nostromo, Moderato, and Von Aschenbach...
Music is also a fabulous carrier of emotions, and I always like to envelop my protagonists in a song, or a piece of music that speaks to them, and brings back memories for them...

********************
I am happy to announce that "Travels Through Love and Time" is now published by Night Publishing, available on amazon.com as a book and on kindle.

It is still short, easy to read, and the price is right :)

favourite books

Moby Dick, Henry Miller's "Rosy Crucifixion", Patricia Highsmith's "This Sweet Sickness", Thomas Mann's "Magic Mountain", Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy, Sarah Waters' "Affinity".
Also I always loved Balzac, Tolstoi, H.P Lovecraft, Sue Grafton, Agatha Christie...

Travels Through Love and Time

Christine Hall Volkoff

A teenager puzzled about love, encounters it on a sailing outing in the South of France, and it will turn her life upside down.


From the rocky coves of the small island of Porquerolles in her teenage years, the glamour of the Cannes Film Festival in the 60's to a cafe in Paris in the 80's as a middle aged woman, Christine doesn't really know if she is looking for love, or if love is looking for her.

At the terrace of a small outdoor cafe, she discusses Marguerite Duras with an unknown woman, and enters into a whirlwind of anxiety and desire only mitigated by good food and the magic of the city. Has Christine learned anything about love in her travels?

In Venice Beach, California, now mature, she becomes smitten with a woman 30 years her junior. As she tries to give Bethany some comfort, she will let herself descend once again into the mysteries of infatuation. Will she be able to follow the advice of her teenage years, finally be able to enjoy the good life, and recover her peace of mind?
Get ready to travel through love, space and time...

"Travels" is a complete novella (around 46,000 words). I have uploaded only Part 1: "Nostromo". The rest is published by Night Publishing, all the info is on my web site.

This book is so incredibly entertaining! Every single line is a little gem of finely crafted images, and humorous metaphors, a great story including the mix of cultures, the teasing look at prejudice, all an all a fine piece of writing! It is also very original, leaving behind all the vampires, were... view book

This book is a lot of fun! I enjoyed every page. I have to admit I have a weakness for anything that makes fun of empty celebrities and shallow show business, but this one really delivers! It is not really chick lit in my view (I am not a fan of the genre) but more like Ab Fab, some liberating romp ... view book

Wow! What a start....this is definitely engaging from the very first lines...this is quick, easy to read, and non-stop action from what I can tell in the beginning. How powerful is an organization that gets one man's best friend to kill his wife, with "no choice"! Looking forward to reading the rest... view book

He likes Holden Caulfield more than the Cat in the Hat. Not surprising :) The protagonist is real, and if this was written in the first person, it would sound like an autobiography, or an on the spot journal, written by the Poet himself, precise like a videotape. Anyone who has ever felt different,... view book
