edit data

Mara van Ness (1986) is gek op natuurkunde en op schrijven. Deze twee zaken combineert ze in haar beroep van natuurkundedocent en co-auteur van lesmateriaal én in haar hobby: het schrijven van sciencefiction.

Ze schrijft het liefst over heel gewone mensen in bijzondere situaties, of mensen met bijzondere eigenschappen die niet alleen bezig zijn met het redden van de wereld, maar daarnaast ook een heel gewoon (liefdes)leven hebben.

Update: schrijven en HSFCon

Oh jee, alweer een maand geleden dat ik een bericht plaatste! Hoog tijd voor een update, dus.

Afgelopen maand was lekker druk: ik begon samen met mijn redactrice Kelly van der Laan (neem eens een kijkje op haar website; haar boeken zijn echt tof!) aan de redactie van Magnetar, ik schreef verder aan Supernovae (te midden van witte dwergen) en ik ging naar HSFCon. Voor dat laatste moest ik wel vroeg
