How to become an author? A question that occupies thousands of peoples’ minds, day after day. How to make the step from obscurity to fame, and from a few words on a sheet of paper to a completed manuscript and a published book? This has kept me busy for several years now, and I can tell you, dear reader, that it is a steep learning curve.

One of the learning points was the fact that no one knew me as an author, I didn’t have an author’s profile on the internet, which came up during my search for a publisher. In today’s world it seems to be expected from people to present themselves on the Web. This directly led to me establishing this website.

Luckily I have been active publishing on the internet for about twenty years, so the problem was easily remedied. These pages are the result.

 

Agenda:

My new book The Batavian will be published in Dutch as De Batavier, in March 2019. Sample English texts available here.

Formal launch of De Batavier: 23 March 2019 at 2pm in the Public Library, Nieuwstraat 4, Leiden. Applications to HT-C Communicatie en Marketing.

Following that, a lecture and signing session on 13 April at 2pm at De Kler Booksellers, Breestraat 161, Leiden. Applications once again to HT-C Communicatie en Marketing.
