Raphaël Relat is a historical fiction author and photographer. Born in France, he has been living in Barcelona, Spain since 2006. His stories draw inspiration from his passions for languages, travel, and vintage aviation. Calling back to the golden age of pulp spy/adventure stories, they often feature distant locales and exotic machines such as the PBY Catalina flying boat. He also writes science fiction and poetry. When he is not writing, he enjoys classic jazz and sailing the sunny Costa Brava. Follow Raphael Relat on Twitter, Instagram, and his website www.raphaelrelat.net
