I've always loved writing, as some of my professional activities attest.
I write for others, but also for myself, and in September 2007, "Marine et Marinette - Cent jours" was published by Thélès, a book I wrote under the pen name Tosca Nema.
​
At the beginning of 2021 I finally got down to writing again, almost twenty years after my last author adventure. I wrote my second manuscript, "April ou l'heure enchantée", in two and a half months. It's a resolutely positive and inspiring self-growth testimony. It was published in October 2021 by Éditions Vérone. I wrote it under my birth name Tania Zimen.
​​
In "April ou l'heure enchantée" I referred quite often to "Marine et Marinette - Cent jours", as a link was woven between these two. So I decided to republish my first book at the same time as "April ou l'heure enchantée" came off the presses. Under my real name Tania Zimen "Marine et Marinette - Cent jours" was republished in 2021 on Amazon, in digital ebook format and in paperback. The content remains the same, with the two books, the novel and the personal diary, published back-to-back, rather than recto verso as in 2007.
​When "April ou l'heure enchantée" was published in October 2021, I decided to create a second website, dedicated to my activities as an author. You'll find the link below:

Diary
Twelve Chapters to write a life ...
An essential self-reconstruction
The life assessment of an adult woman, three months before giving birth to her third child. She is in her thirties and writes about her inner conflicts and her relationship problems with her family. Like many other children, she has inherited a heavy burden from her parents that she sometimes finds difficult to overcome.
​
April appeared in my life in January 2021, out of the blue, during some meditations. She accompanied me on my journey for several months, revealing to me a book that I'd been carrying inside me for a long time, and giving me what I needed to nourish it with. She walked with me along the winding paths of listening, trust, surrender and sharing. Ten weeks of writing culminated in a clearing of serenity, lined with trees, including the one that bears her name and whose roots reach deep into the ground.
"APRIL ou l'heure enchantée" marks another stage in the inner journey I began many years ago to discover who I really was. In this book I bear witness to the manifestations that presented themselves to me at the dawn of my 52nd birthday, remarkable testimonies to what the Universe, my guardian angels and April could bring me if I agreed to open myself up to their messages. During this journey, which I wanted to take you, the reader, on board, I bear witness to the work I have done on myself to trust, to let go and surrender to these manifestations. Without false modesty, I open the door to a few months of my life, hoping to show you that what has brought me greater serenity and the certainty that my life will be the one I want, provided I give myself the means, can also be a path that you can explore in your own way, if you wish, to discover who you are.
