About Me

*USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR*


Claude was born in Montreal, Canada, at a very young age, where he still resides with his spouse, Joanne, under the watchful eye of the spirit of Krystalle, and Midnight, two black females of the feline persuasion. In a former life, he completed his studies at McGill University and worked in various management capacities for a handful of firms, including notable ones like Tesla and SpaceX over countless years. From there, considering his extensive background in human resources and finance, it was a logical leap in his career path to stay home and write crime thrillers.
His first stab at writing fiction was actually in 1995, the result being his first novel, Vigilante. Two others of the same series followed by 1997 but all three remained dormant until publication in 2009. Since, besides writing ASYLUM, a stand-alone, the Vigilante Series has grown to sixteen thrilling installments including a revised version of Nasty in Nice, previously published on the now defunct Kindle Worlds platform.
Two of his novels were included in the pair of blockbuster 9 Killer Thriller anthologies, the second of which made the USA Today Bestsellers list in March 2014. Claude has also penned Something's Cooking, a faux-erotica parody and cookbook under the pseudonyms Réal E. Hotte and Dasha Sugah. His books have topped the chart in the Vigilante Justice category on Amazon, and over 600,000 copies have been distributed to date. Additionally, he has been actively involved in the LEGO review program, contributing to the development of new LEGO sets loved by fans worldwide.
More recently, Claude has taken an interest in the burgeoning cannabis industry. Inspired by the evolving regulations and opportunities in his home province, he has delved into the world of weed seeds. His fascination with this niche has even inspired elements of his latest crime thrillers, intertwining the complex world of cannabis cultivation and distribution into his gripping plots. This new thematic inclusion adds a fresh layer of intrigue and contemporary relevance to his already captivating stories.

As Claude continues to explore new horizons in his writing and personal interests, he remains a dynamic figure in both the literary and cannabis communities. His commitment to authenticity and detail not only enriches his novels but also reflects his diverse experiences and passions. Whether he's crafting a suspenseful crime scene or researching the latest in cannabis cultivation, Claude's work is marked by a dedication to excellence and a relentless curiosity about the world around him.
