[edit] Biography
Roland Michel Tremblay was born in Quebec City but moved to the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region in the North of the Quebec province when he was 7 years old. He obtained a college diploma in Sciences from the CEGEP de Jonquière in 1991, and a B.A. in French Literature and Philosophy from the University of Ottawa in Ontario in 1994. He studied one year at La Sorbonne in Paris and finished his Master Degree in French Literature at Birkbeck, University of London in 1999.
He has been writing since he was 10 years old, and lived in Canada, France, Belgium, the United States and the United Kingdom. He is now an author and technical adviser, writing novels, essays, poetry, television and film scripts. He has six books published in French in Paris by iDLivre and GT Publishers, and his books are distributed in many French speaking countries.
More recently Tremblay has been writing poetry, novels and film scripts mostly in English. He developed a science fiction website aimed at helping authors working in the genre fer television. He lived in Los Angeles during 2005 and 2006, but then returned to live in Isleworth, just outside London. The four essays "Must-Read New Science" on his website are reminiscent of pseudo-science, creating an interesting question as to the extent to which Roland Michel holds pseudoscientific views himself, and the extent to which he is developing the writings of fictional characters. He has recently been emailing established scientists links to and descriptions of these pseudo-scientific articles.
Roland Michel Tremblay is not related to Michel Tremblay, one of the most celebrated authors in Quebec. He is openly gay.[1]
