Simone Voltaire enjoys reading a wide range of genres, including classics, science fiction, fantasy, and mystery literature. The creative thinking and stimulating imagination she enjoyed reading motivated her to put her own ideas into words to share with others. Her father, Arnauld Voltaire, who himself created plays and novels, was the one who pushed her to pursue her dream of writing. She began by writing short stories to share with friends and family, but she soon decided to set a goal of writing a book.
In the sci-fi story “Sarcaun: The Journey” it presents the story of human-like creatures who are gifted with peculiar powers called Gens and who lived on Earth for millions of years until they decided to leave to protect their race from humans. After thousands of years, Princess Norellyia is sent from Sarcaun on a journey to earth to change her attitude.
While living with a family on earth, she discovers a secret about the daughter, Melanie. She intervenes and ends up rescuing Melanie from trouble. In the meantime, chaos ensues on the planet Sarcaun as evil is unleashed through the portal created by her departure to earth. Norellyia finds herself on a journey that will change her life forever.

A movie script coverage and movie treatment for this book have been released for the book’s qualification for a Hollywood movie adaptation. This movie script pursuit will appeal to a broad audience, including teenagers and fantasy movie lovers. It is appropriate for any age; therefore, every family member can watch and enjoy the family values it promotes. Moreover, a three-act summary, or movie treatment, of this excellent book has been published in preparation for its movie adaptation. This phase will lead to the writing of the screenplay.
This masterpiece was commended by Sarah Poulette (the US Review of Books), who acknowledges that “The action-packed plot goes through many directions and locations throughout the story, but the author expertly weaves in parallels between Elly’s time on Earth and what happens to her back in Sarcaun, smoothly connecting all the disparate elements. Elly’s adventures are riveting and suitable for science fiction or fantasy fans from young adults onwards.”
