on my website. If you, like me, love beautiful stories from the past, you've come to the right place. What I love to do most is digging up forgotten history. Who was the giant of Amsterdam? What happened in Katendrecht, the only forbidden neighborhood for the Germans during WWII? What is the moving story behind the Tuschinskis? I get to the bottom of it and then bring it to life as truthfully as possible. And once the story has flown into the world on wings of paper (and I'm holding my breath), I am always so happy when it is well received, not only by readers, but also by other creative people, who do their thing with it. For example , Uit liefde, meneer Tuschinski was successfully adapted for theater by Erris van Ginkel, and this same book was given an honorable place in a mural by artist JanIsDeMan. Well, what more could you want as a writer? Fortunately, the treasure chest of forgotten stories is far from empty, so I'll continue for a while. And oh yes, in the meantime I have picked up a new passion: writing comedies for the stage. In this place I will keep you roughly informed about my projects, and if you want to know more, follow me on socials or book me for a lecture.

Enjoy reading and who knows, see you soon.

Kind regards,

Tanya
