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 Canada's boreal forest. In 1991, he published his first book, "Au passage de la neuvième lune" and received regional recognition. Ten years later, the author repeated the experience with a second novel, "L'ermitage", which also receives a beautiful tribute from his adopted region. Five short stories followed, as well as a collection of poetry. He continues to write to this day.
