Audiobooks have intrigued me for years, so I jumped at the opportunity to have some of my books transformed into audiobooks by Wordwooze Publishing. However, now that I am in the short story business, I didn’t know how to solve it. I don’t like my own voice and accent enough …
Listen to this post: Last week I had a mini-epiphany. Not a big one like when I realized that I, too, would one day become a sixteen-year-old. Yes, I clearly remember realizing that. Or when I decided to dedicate my life to sex, at least writing about it and making …
I never expected to write a piece about Gerard Joling on my blog. He is a well-known performer from the Netherlands, mostly known for his singing, but also a TV presenter. People who don’t like his music often make fun of him. He can be extravagant and flamboyant, but I …
