WHY DON'T YOU DIE?
wildcard Winner
flash fiction contest 'not quite write'
In this contest, you get two days to write a story of max 500 words based on three prompts, one of which is to break a specific writing rule. I entered the 2025 July contest, and my story received a wildcard from the judges (and was longlisted). This was a lot of fun and surprisingly successful.

oH MY GODS
Winner 'urban fantasy'
+ finalist 'best debut'
My debut novel OH MY GODS won in the Storytrade Award's 'Urban Fantasy' category and was a finalist for 'Best Debut Prodigy.'
The Norse gods may have had a hand in the 2024 Storytrade Book Awards judging process. For the better, I guess, as we know they're poor losers.
about me
I am a Dutch author living in Sweden. The main red thread through my books is that I like to weave real societal issues into fictional adventures.
Populism plays a big role in my debut OH MY GODS (Urban Fantasy). NATURAL SELECTION (horror), my second novel, evolves around the theme of sustainability, while TIME FOR SALE (sci-fi) includes an interesting take on conspiracy theories. For the fourth book, DATING TRAPP (mystery), the protagonist finds herself in the epicenter of a 'wokeness' scandal.

Thunderstorms, cable cars, flying: There are countless personal fears I can choose from to inspire some good old horror-and-drama-induced stories. So I did.

INSIDE OUT
This project has taken the back seat because of the short story collection that jumped the queue, but it's still very much in the plans. The intention is to start in the middle and ... Well, let's see how exactly this will take shape.
