I am based in Singapore since 2009.
In the eighties I studied law in the Netherlands with a specialisation in movie copyrights. I started my career though as a scriptwriter for detective & soap series on Dutch television. After five years I made a career switch. I set up a small chain of four book & game stores and launched a fantasy magazine.
At the start of the new millennium I introduced a new event concept called Elf Fantasy Fair (later changed into Elfia; more info at www.elfia.com). It developed into the most successful fantasy costume event in Europe and is organised twice a year. To give you an idea of the increasing popularity of self made costumes (in Asia known as Cosplay), please visit our website costumeflash.com .

I never thought I would continue writing but the impact of the deaths of both my beloved father and my eldest brother, brought my attention back to my previous interests in religion and cults. In the nineties I was an active member of the Rosicrucians, a western esoteric cross-over between christianity, buddhism and even hinduism. After I was kicked out (too critical), I lost my interest in religion, but I guess that death -as it came closer- forced me somehow to write down my own ideas about the after life. And once I started with my first book 'Ghost on the Run', I actually couldn't stop. It had to be a series. I normally have a very optimistic view on life and on the possibilities we as humans beings can create, but now that death was running in the family, I started thinking about the possibilities we as human beings can maybe also create in the after life. 'Last Terminal' with its first book 'Ghost on the Run' will contain at least six parts, and an idea about a second run of six parts is under construction.

Beside the writing, and the event organising, I am also running agricultural and educational projects in South East Asia, more specific in Cambodia. It's a next step in the big idea that I committed myself to: free education for highly motivated students by unpaid but highly motivated teachers. ...more

My brother Oswin

I managed to book a flight that same evening. A flight from Singapore to Amsterdam. Fifteen hours later, I reached the hospital. When I walked in the room, there he was: my eldest brother. Physically totally changed but still undeniably my brother. His gaunt face suddenly reminded me of the face of my father a few days before he died three years ago at the age of 84. Oswin looked indeed thirty yea Read more of this blog post »
