| Introduction | I am a suspense writer and I have published nine thrillers so far. I was nominated for the Netherlands annual thriller award seven times and won it three times (in 2002, 2006 and 2008). I write corporate thrillers, all focusing on a specific theme, such as chemical waste, internet manipulation, arms trade or something like that. I wrote my first book in 1990 and it was published five years later. My latest book, CELL, is about identity theft. |
