Rouge karma, éd. de l'Aube, 2005
Bleu Pékin, éd. de l’Aube, 2007
La mort en comprimés, éd. de l’Aube, 2008
Lotus et bouches cousues, éd. de l'Aube, 2009
Les disparus du Laogaï, éd. Rouergue, 2010

Michel Imbert teaches at the School of Architecture in Toulouse, where he works in the field of ATR (Arts et Techniques de la Représentation).
