WRITING IS FUN
Ted Polet
INTRO
Several years ago I began writing adventure novels and thrillers,
in which seafaring and sailing are an important theme. I had a love-hate relationship with the sea for much of my life, and after all, the sea is one of our last frontiers,
where you cannot predict what will happen next. My social involvement is at least as important, this being apparent in my books won't come as a surprise.
I use this website, my author's blog and my Youtube movie channel as a publicity medium for my authorship, social engagement and other activities. Deze website in het Nederlands AGENDA: No new events are planned at the moment.
RECENT NEWS and BOOKS: On Saturday, November 9, 2024, I gave a lecture about my book ANANSI in a community centre in Leiden. The lecture was given to aged Surinamese people.
On April 13, 2024, there was a town excursion followed by lectures entitled Unknown stories of Beverwijk. I gave a lecture on the connections between the rich mansions of Beverwijk and the slave trade.
