At the beginning of his career, publishers rejected him because of his style – which, although close to fantasy and science fiction cannot easily be categorised under any genre. He persevered because he could not consider a future without writing. His work was first published in fanzines. His first published text was "The Escaped Prisoner" published in 1972 in "The Wedged Paddle". This was followed by a great number of novels published in the "Anticipation" and "Presence of the future" series. Another of his works, "Les semeurs d'abîmes", won the Prix Tour-Apollo Award in 1984.
