I'm working on my seventh Daisy Hayes novel, set in Rome. Part of it in 1964, part in AD 64. The working title is "The Desiderata Stone". It's great fun.

Biography

I'm Dutch, and I've never lived more than sixteen years in the same place. So: born in South Africa, moved to Switzerland as a kid, lived in Rotterdam for a while, then in Luxembourg. Now I live in Leuven, Belgium, and I work as a proofreader. Married with two kids. Anything else? I write a lot.

Fun Facts

Hobbies

Reading, sculpture and pottery, also weaving lately. Hiking and bycicling.

Most Exotic Place Visited

My birthplace, Pilgrim's Rest, South Africa.

What Shampoo Do You Use?

Shampoo, what's that? Have you seen my hair? Just plain soap for me.

Your Dream Car

The best car is the one you can dispense with. As it happens, I have no driver's licence.

Favorite Sport

Hiking, jogging and bycicling. Team sports: ugh!

Mountains or Beach? Why?

Both, 'cos mountains are high and beaches are wide.

Pet Peeve

Cars. They have ruined the world.

Number of Published Books

Thirteen, I think. Some of them in French.

Book that Changed Your Life

The Bible, as a literary work, but also as a quest.

Favorite Place to Write

The sitting room, or my private cubicle. Sometimes family bustle, sometimes peace and quiet.

Do You Listen to Music While Writing? What Kind?

No way. I listen AFTER writing, though: Beethoven, Benny goodman, Leonard Cohen, anything.

Favorite Character You Created

Daisy Hayes, definitely. The character who is the least like me is the one I love most.

Where Do You Live?

In Leuven, Belgium.
