About the author

Kin Asdi is a self-confessed geek. Born in 1964, his love of all things “nerdy” began as a young boy when his father introduced him to the wacky world of bits and bytes. His passion for technology became a borderline obsession when he discovered that he had a particular flair for human interfaces. His thirst for knowledge led him to study Sonology (the science of sound) at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. It was here that he threw himself passionately into exploring a wide range of music and other creative arts that encompassed the use of sound.

As an adult, Kin is continually pushing the boundaries and exploring new concepts. He is always tinkering around with technology and has created a wide range of light coloured objects using LED’s and electronics. Rather than following the well-trodden path, he prefers to pour time and energy into exploring new concepts and creating objects that are both abstract and unique.

He was pleasantly surprised to discover that the art of computer programming is not dissimilar to crafting and writing a novel. Both require a certain amount of discipline, and he had no difficulty creating the necessary framework that has enabled him to produce some highly imaginative works of fiction.

In addition to publishing two books in the “Adventures of Kad” series, he is also the author of Something New Every Day – The secret of the Garntuoas and has also contributed a short story to Our Day of Passing – An Anthology of Short Stories, Poems and Essays. Never afraid to write sex scenes from a male perspective, he just finished “Spy Woman,” a futuristic fantasy with a feisty heroine and a strong romance at its heart.

Kin Asdi is the pen name of Victor Vergeer. He lives with his wife and teenage daughter in a village on the outskirts of The Hague.
