Who am I?

I am a writer – after a career as a science teacher trainer – and movie maker, and photographer. I wrote stories and novels in Drents dialect. These days I write novels and short stories in Dutch. Nearly all my books are for free (pdf) (Verzameld Werk means Collected Writings). I assist authors to produce and publish books of their own.

Ter Verpoozing is archaic Dutch meaning: a pleasant way to spend life; no obligations, no stress, not for money but for natural growth (whatever that means).

I have been in the news quiet a few times and I received several awards. (May be more awards than readers of my stories). A fair number of stories and novels can be listened to in voice over. You can download Dutch & Drents audio as well. Stories read in Dutch and Drents. More stories and films can be found on my YouTube channel Ter Verpoozing.

Main subjects of my literary writings: identity (Who is the Drent? Meaning of life (none). Human behavior (violence, sex, philosophy). Relations. I like to add extra's to a story. There is more than you initially think there is. My prose requires active participation and solid attention.
