To Host or Not to Host a Book Presentation?
My first book presentation was a terrifying prospect for me… So much so that I managed to postpone it for more than a year, hoping I would get away with never celebrating the launch of my book.
I’m a free-spirited author of English books and stories, living in the Netherlands. I love to write about my adventures and insights in a creative way. Expect smiles, tears and amazement. Life is both magical and logical, if you’re a mystic like me.
My podcast about mystical matters is coming soon! Stay tuned!

I like to think of my book as a universal approach to the meaning of life. My main teaching in the book is that every human can find out his or her answers to the big life questions by him or herself. The mystical road is highly personal, and can’t be transferred from one to the other. The only thing I can offer is to share my own experiences and insights as a mystic, however personal.
That being said, I played with many concepts in my book, from different wisdom traditions including Bahá’í concepts. A few examples are: the importance of independent investigation of the truth, the oneness of God (regardless of the many names people like to give Him, Her or It), the importance of science, even when it comes to seeking God, and the concept of acquiring universal qualities and virtues during your life, like patience and compassion, especially in times of hardship and distress.
I would love to! I usually do it with little drawings too. If you want to order a signed copy, for yourself or someone else, you can order your copies directly from me on this website. If it’s meant as a gift, I will also make sure it gets gift wrapped, and accompanied with a cute card.
You can also bring your book, if you’re attending one of my live events. I will make sure I can sign your book there.
Yes, there are about three of them living in my head, manifesting themselves in various stages in this material world (like abandoned manuscripts). I have taught myself not to talk too much about these hybrid creatures, as they are still very shy, and might decide to retreat to the safety of my head again. I sometimes need some genuine fans to try out some new chapters. If that’s something you would love to do for me, please let me know on my Contact Page. I’m always deeply grateful, if I know how my words resonate with my readers.
