We are living in a visual age. Nearly every day, around 5 billion videos are watched on YouTube alone. 5 billion, with over 30 million visitors per day! The numbers are staggering. If you have not opened your YouTube account yet, now would be a good time 😉 As an author, a video may perhaps […]
Do you like to read? I love reading! I love nothing more than to get comfortable in my hammock under my cherry tree with a nice page turner, a book of my choice. Classics are in many cases not always first choice; they are mandatory reading material in high school, and although I like some […]
Some say that writers are a different breed 😉 We often appear to be doing nothing when in fact we are busy in another world, plotting a whole new story. What to someone else is simply “staring into space” is a whole new book in the making for a writer. The crazy research that you […]
Following up on my post about Seraphin (I’m working hard to polish that manuscript and get it ready for publishing 😉 ), I thought it was time to give Lucan his own article as well. Lucan is another unique book character (if I may say so myself 🙂 ) who appears in the Aurelie series. […]

Although I have always published fiction, today I started a new project, a self-help book. It had been on my mind for ages, but I did not know if I was ready for it and I was also working on Thorn Heart, which had priority at the time. Now, however, feels like the right moment […]
What are writers always associated with? I mean, besides spending hours typing away, staring into space while a whole new story takes place in their mind, and – following stereotype – locking themselves in their writing dens for hours or days on end?

Did you start a new blog or are you thinking of writing a short story and you can’t come up with an idea? When you have a website, it is recommended to publish posts several times a week, ideally, twice or even three times if you have the time. If you can only do it […]
