Blueprint Made Of Man, excerpt
Nathalie Guilbeault
What now—now that this gateway has been crossed and pulled me into some new shaky puzzle; now that I have shared on a subject the world wants to hear me and others only whisper about, these whispers like emotional hiccups, uncontrolled and wished away because of the reminder living in its core: I am here and represent a section of the living that could have stopped being. Breathing.
But I am here. Still.
Coming 2024
WHEN I BECAME NEVER
Inside Spain's never ending turmoil, Alberto Rogriguez will plant a seed whose emptiness will find its way to Nicaragua and America, destroying the only thing it covets - pure acceptance. And this want, fed and teased, will swim inside the belly of women who will suffer, surrender, and eventually seek revenge.
WHEN I BECAME NEVER retraces the story of a family that cannot escape its blood. A stand alone thriller that complements the author's preceding novel, INHALED, WHEN I BECAME NEVER shows how many shapes revenge can take, and that, more often than not, it fails us as much as it entices us.
"It took me a while to decide on the cover of When I Became Never ... but after rereading, and editing, and re-editing, and thinking more, about the characters that make the story what it is - women - I chose this piece created by artist extraordinaire, Garo Hakimian. Thank you Garo, for these eyes, for what they reflect."

In this romantic thriller where sex is used both as a weapon and a cure, with great lucidity Nathalie Guilbeault exposes the dangers of becoming entangled with a person possessing narcissistic and sociopathic traits. As her marriage unravels, Isabelle Duval meets a Nicaraguan man online. Silencing her own intuition, she falls into the arms of hope, weaving for herself a new reality, one that puts her life and that of her daughter’s at risk.
Set primarily in New England, it is a tale of a woman’s struggle to seek stability where none can be found. It is the story of a woman’s blind quest to rationalize the need to give in, to stay, whatever the price, while offering a look into the struggle and desperation of one who has been preyed upon.
