A romance blossoms in Deauville in 2016, offering the opportunity, two years later, to shed light on a murder committed in 1944, shortly after the D-Day landings.
From the landing beaches on D-Day to the jazz clubs of New Orleans,
From the chic coastal town of Deauville to the Strip of Las Vegas,
A family saga where passion overcomes generational and racial differences.

Attending the revue
Féerie at the Moulin Rouge amounts to experiencing a dream come true.
As soon as the dancers wave their tricolored petticoats, they set the audience on fire, and suddenly
the very soul of Paris spills over onto every spectator, literally subjugated by the splendor
of the unparalleled stage and choreography.
I had the opportunity to celebrate New Year’s Eve twice at the Mecca of the French cancan.
From Dubai to Las Vegas, via Havana, I had never been that dazzled by a show. I believe that the esthetics
of the revue made me as intoxicated as Madison in Arizona Stars.
Francophilia wouldn’t exist without Paris. And Paris would no longer be Paris without
the Moulin Rouge, the Eiffel Tower, Edith Piaf’s voice or the Champs-Élysées.
Virna Lorentz
P.S.: At the beginning of summer 2023, I was invited to the revue Féerie by Jean-Luc Pehau-Sorensen,
at that time Communication and Marketing Director at the Moulin Rouge.
This was the third time I’d seen the show and once again, I was blown away - the performance left me starry-eyed…
and an irresistible urge to come back, as soon as I could!

Artistic Collab
Exclusively between the novelist
Virna
Lorentz &
Rҽժs☼︎Rօҍíղ,
a talented alumna of the School of Fine Arts.
Characters, plots and twists turn into artistic allegories in
Rҽժs☼︎Rօҍíղ's creations,
shining a light on Virna Lorentz's novels.
Awesome new Collab at the end of a tremendous year!
A hellish love triangle. An extreme rivalry, peppered with betrayals of all kinds, superstition, and witchcraft.
This dark, historical fiction
written by VIRNA LORENTZ inspired Rҽժs☼︎Rօҍíղ in her artistic drawings
and illustrations, spoiling us with the best of her artistic talents.
Based on a true story, VIRNA LORENTZ’s second novel depicts a devouring passion between two beings that were never predestined to meet, in the wake of the D-Day landings.
Rҽժs☼︎Rօҍíղ’s creations take a fresh look at the heroine of the novel, Élise, as well as at the essence of passion.
A few hints about VIRNA LORENTZ’s fourth novel which is currently underway…
Dangerous liaisons, lust, venality, scandal, perfect crimes. From the West Coast of the United States to an exotic archipelago in the South Pacific, the climax will reveal the evil of certain souls, beyond any unthinkable truth.
In the latest chapter of our artistic collab, Rҽժs☼︎Rօҍíղ has put a great deal of effort into the portrait of the novel’s key character, Scarlett.
Preparations are well on their way for a new, highly confidential artistic collab… It will see the light of day on the release of this fourth novel that hopefully, will cause a great deal of ink to flow!

Almost seventy-four years after the events unfolded in the saga MIRAGE BLUES, the poignant conclusion takes shape in VIRNA LORENTZ’s third novel under the blazing sun of the American West, casting its light on the most mythic scenes of the story.
Rҽժs☼︎Rօҍíղ took pleasure in restyling Madison’s apartment, the heroine of the novel, as well as some species of wildlife familiar to legendary Route 66.
