about me

I have published 43 Computer related books in Dutch (the last one was about a Smart TV - a TV which allows you to go online and install apps).

Also, I'm writing Young Adult novels (one in English - the one below, and one in Dutch which is an entirely different type of story), work on my own (Dutch) computer website and run my own (Dutch) newsletter. Presently I'm participating in a prestigious Strip Award (Focus Knack) of a story I've written the script for. You see: I am writing and I will keep on writing as if my life depended on it.

When you read my story, I will always return the favor (though not always the backing). If I haven't done that in let's say a week, please make a point of telling me about it.

Instead of suggesting a swap, just read my story if you want me to read yours. I never suggest swaps myself; I simply give you my view on your story. After all, there is a lot to learn from the way others solve a particular problem, even if you decide not to read mine.

A Shadow In A Shady Country

The Dragon

A teenager dies to discover that life doesn't end. A feud started by the living is continued by the dead.


** Cover design by Bradley Wind **

This is it; the final curtain call. Here we split. Dad, Mom and my brother Josh will go their way and so will I.

When I cross the line between life and death, nothing prepares me for what I find at the Other Side. There is Paradise when I rejoin long lost friends. And there is Hell when my parents’ family members fight each other as if their deaths depend on it.

Sitting right in the middle, I take useless courses. Dead people don’t need to know how to eat or drink and yet, that is exactly what I learn. I escape and board a ship only to find my problems triple.

All I want to do is join my funeral to say my goodbye to Dad, Mom and Josh. Yes: life is hard, especially for those who are dead.

[Man by a Tree] Wooo... First of all thank you very much for reviewing my story - a month ago, almost. Now I've finally gotten here to read yours. I was surprised by the humoristic start of it. Well written and completely believable - even the hobgoblin. My only question is about the way you c... view book

[Episodes The Memoir of a Nobody I was eleven and later on, I was elated. It may be my English, but I didn't get that sentence just above Chapter 1. Wouldn't I was eleven and elated, make more sense? When he's watching the medals: isn't one St Michel instead of St Mihel? You write well and ... view book

[Reasonable Force] Hi Sully. I finally got here. I want to thank you once more for reading my book - I guess I fully deserved what you said to me afterwards. I hope this review will make up. Slightly. Now your book. Well, you draw me in immediately. Your character is believable and likeable. T... view book

[Who wants to diet anyway] Your story starts pretty well. You drag me in immediately with a character whom you can't possibly dislike. There are a lot of possibilities with this. Halfway through the first chapter you lose me, though, and it took me a while to see way, too. You tell a lot, but ... view book
