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.

 

And if that wasn't enough I took up painting a couple of years ago, and started a small photography and art shop with my partner Hans den Daas who just happens to be a marvellous photographer, and through us art-HanGer.com was born.

But this site is all about writing.

And about writers' resources. I have made a links page of the sites I visit now. If you know of any others that are useful and informative let me know and I will add them to the page.

It is also a chance for you to follow my column and become a writer yourself.

I look forward to your feedback, and intend to keep the information up to date in response to your requests.
