About

Arnaud writes literary fiction and fables where weather, work, and conscience shape the story as much as plot. His work explores endurance, moral proportion, and the quiet magic found in ordinary lives.

Drawing on a disciplined, understated style, he favors atmosphere and consequence over explanation. His stories take their time, allowing meaning to emerge through labor, silence, and restraint.

He's drawn to the places he writes about. He walks the same streets, watches how the light falls at different hours, pays attention to what people do with their hands. For him, a story set in a place should smell like that place.

He lives in the Florida Keys.

His debut novella, Parapluie: A Fable, follows an enchanted umbrella through seven lives in Belle Époque Paris—a story about connection, grief, and the objects that carry us through both.
