Hi everyone, it's good
to be back. Life has been hectic, but a lot of fun. As well as my novel
The Cloths of Heaven
that is still selling on all the internet stores,
I have just successfully completed a course at the University of Amsterdam,
Intermedialities, basically how to assess an adaptation either from
literature to film, or from stage to screen, or any other combination that
might occur. I got to watch great films and read great books. I wrote essays
on work by Ian McEwan, Vladimir Nobokov and Stanley Kubrick just to mention
a few. Check the link below if you would like to read a new slant on
Lolita
or
Angels
in America
Also I will be posting my suite101 column -
The Writing
Process
- from idea to bookshelf, about once a fortnight, and welcome
all your responses to it. I know when I first wrote it that it was well
read by a lot of aspiring writers, was even used as reference material
by colleges in Australia and America, and I look forward to a new batch
of scribes reading it and mailing me with their questions and/or new ideas.
I
have expanded my sevices and as well as designing this website, I also
design folders, brochures and other promotional material. And being bi-lingual
I translate creative and business texts from Dutch into English and copy
edit texts to give them that last sharp edge they need.
