WORD PASSION

 

WELLCOME TO MY WEBSITE

 

 

Words have been my life long passion. From a very early age I wrote  stories and drew pictures using colors which are  my second passion .

 I am a creative person and explore many possibilities on this subject.

​

Over the years I have written on many themes, written short stories which have been published on internet (Running Fox Papers). These are stories I wrote quite some time ago and if you are interested you can find them on this link.

​

My latest and 8th book is called 'Fireflies in the Summer (and other  short stories). Also for the first time ever, I published one of my books in the Dutch language (Het Blauwe Huis). 

​

All my books are published through Brave New Books in The Netherlands and are available through the website bol.com. You only have to type in my name in the search and all my books will appear. For people who are not in the catchment area for bol.com, you can order a book through me. I have a PayPal account, so payments are easy and free from exorbitant bank charges to transfer money.

​

Some of the covers for my books have been specially commissioned from artists including Birgit Kaiser in Barcelona, Spain and Jane Delaford Taylor in the United Kingdom. I also use photo's which I collect and the Blue House has a cover photo of a real house in Bayside in New Brunswick, Canada. This is the house  which belongs to life long friends  of mine.

​

For a complete list of all published books, please see the 'books page'.

​

As well as a good background in the publishing/editing industry for many years I work as a freelance translator from Dutch to English. For about 12 years I have been working for Janosh Art and translate all the words for his own projects. I have also translated a number of books for other authors and a Belgian company.

​

2017 has been an exciting year and continues ... a lot has happened this year and I have I think made a steady pattern of growth not only with my work but also as a person. I have taken part in a number of online workshops (by Janosh) and these have been life-changing.

​

​

I am married with grown up children and live in The Netherlands on the islands along the south west coast. A beautiful place with incredible light and color which never ceases to provide delight.
