Hello visitor,
Thanks so much for dropping by. Although my website’s theme is Platform for Writerly Ideas and Confessions, I don’t feel I’m very good with private information about myself or my life. I love creating characters and they obviously have something in common with me – or they wouldn’t be there – but autobiography is not for me. I am regularly dumbfounded at how well other authors string together their fascinating bios, though.
Let me just stick to giving you a couple of -random- facts.
I was born in Paris (Fr.) in 1956 as a second child to a Dutch father and an English mother but I have lived in The Netherlands almost all my life. However, I have strong ties with my own triangle: France, UK and Holland.
Long ago I studied Dutch literature and Mass Communication at the University of Amsterdam and I also obtained a B.A. in English Literature and Language and a B.A. in Translation from Rotterdam University. I work at the International Office of HZ University of Applied Sciences in Vlissingen.
My free-time is taken up by writing fiction and teaching Yoga. My three children have flown the nest.
From the age of 8, I’ve written poetry and short stories but it has taken me almost 50 years to become a published author. My debut novel – a literary romance When The Ink Dries was published in 2012. My second novel, a psychological thriller with work title The Collaborator’s Ghost, is currently with my UK editor and will be out in the Spring of 2013. Number 3 – my current project – is a family saga situated in south Sweden called Daughter of The Alvar. I’m under contract with Taylor Street Books in San Francisco.
So far When The Ink Dries is only available in the countries where Amazon is active. Apparently, Amazon is soon coming to The Netherlands so then my book(s) will be available in the country where I live.
I hope you enjoy my website and the regular new (guest) posts that are published on my blog. Please feel free to leave a comment in the comment section.
See you around,
Hannah

Hallo Hannah, zoals je ziet: het is gelukt! Ik heb je site gevonden.
Het was gezellig om weer eens bij elkaar te zijn.
Op de terugweg zijn we nog langs ons eerste huis gereden. Het nummer is inderdaad: 18
Hartelijke groeten en tot ziens.
Nelly
Dit is werkelijk een prachtige site! En ik ben er echt trots op dat ik de schrijfster ook persoonlijk heb leren kennen!

Wat een leuke site. Bij mijn vorige bezoek kwam ik nog niet hier. En wat een aardig verhaal over jezelf. Ineke
Dank je wel, allemaal!
Lovely site, I became aware of it when my friend Viv posted on Facebook today. Reading your bio, I was fascinated because yoga and writing are two of my great loves too. I am curious about the yoga school you have trained with as I haven’t heard of it. Do have a look at my blog too. I look forward to exploring yours further!
Hannah,
Ik zit vanavond te eten met Jan Schoenmakers , je wel bekend, en we hadden het over jou. Hoe is het? Ik zou best wel eens wat van je willen horen.
Xx
Hans
I thought your bio was very interesting, Hannah. You’ve lead a fascinating life.
Looking forward to reading more of your stuff.

Nice meeting on Twitter. I also enjoyed visiting Amsterdam when on tour from Nashville, TN. But this was some time ago!
Far from being an inadequate biography, Hannah, this one is excellent, as it tells us very succinctly what an all-rounded, well educated, interesting person you are.
