Yves Patrick Beaulieu is a French-Canadian who lives in Quebec, in the northwestern part of the province, more precisely in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, a region located in the heart of the Canadian boreal forest. In 1991, he presented his first novel: "Au passage de la neuvième lune" and received regional recognition. Ten years later, the author wrote a second novel: "L'ermitage" which also received a nice tribute from his adoptive region. Six short stories follow. Since then, he has devoted himself to writing his next novel, Dada le fou, which closes the cycle of the Abitibi trilogy.
