Today is my birthday and I feel like giving you things. My books. All of them. And a quick update on what’s coming.
As I’m sure you can imagine, I do not live off my writing. I have a job and writing novels and other things is a hobby. As such, my publishing scedule is sporadic. Under the Black Sand came out in 2013, Blood and Rain in 2017 and Mont Noir in 2023.
What I do care about is readers. You.
Summer is for reading. Exclusive to subscribers of this newsletter, I am giving you a 100% discount until the end of August, so make sure you subscribe. This is my thank you to you for being here, reading this and having faith in this project of mine. I cannot express how much I appreciate you being here.
Updates? I was busy with work. New position at the same company but demanded all my attention. Didn’t write anything for a year. In the last few weeks, I have been getting back into writing though. Last time I mentioned a sequel to Mont Noir. I opened that project a few weeks ago and was kind of surprised to see that it was closer to completion than I remembered. I am now hard at work finishing it.
That is coming after the summer. My fourth novel is coming this year. And there are other things. Watch this space. Oh, and if you want to be the first to read it, if you want to give me feedback before it gets exposed to the public, subscribe to the newsletter and let me know. Here is the opening paragraph. It’s Frank, but Celestina will be joining later.
Just for you:
Amsterdam, 10 May 1940
He was too late. The Germans had crossed the border that morning, and now Frank stood before the jeweller’s counter, staring down at the golden rings laid out like a promise already broken. There were rings with stones, sapphire, jade, diamonds. They were expensive, but he had some money. As beautiful as the gems were, he preferred the plain rings. He would have had them inscribed, but there was no time now.
Oh, and the windmill image is relevant to the new novel. :o)
