Delphine Liard

I was born in 1989 in France. My childhood unfolded in the picturesque countryside outskirt of Paris, where I discovered my passion for writing and literature. As a globetrotter, photographer, and multifaceted artist, I left school at 16 and pursued a school in artistic makeup. After my son was born at the age of 19, I decided to take my A-levels through evening classes, overcoming numerous challenges along the way, I eventually got it. The ensuing adventures of my life were spent raising my son on my own, exploring the world based on my desires, opportunities, and chance encounters. It was in the charming town of Grasse on the French Riviera, where I made my home in 2016, that my first novel began to take shape.

"Dare" tells the story of Valentine, a young woman piecing together her fractured life. She struggles to find her place in a seemingly hostile world, endeavouring to rebuild herself step by step.
