Hi all, I've always been a fan of stories and started to first create my own as a young man playing games such as D&D and exchanging short stories with friends. I am also a big fan of the middle ages. And it's a topic I've looked into a lot.

As for favorite wiriters: certainly G.R.R. Martin, Frank Herbert, Joe Abercrombie and Christian Cameron.
Non-fantasy: Annie Proulx, Jim Clavell among others.

Seven years ago I went through an extraordinarily difficult time. One of the things that kept me going was creating stories. And this is what started me on my writing journey.

My current writing project started off back then. A much too ambitious and immodest epic fantasy series. Seven main characters, though not introduced at the same time. A historically accurate medieval world paired with more remote areas where magic is still alive and demons and sorcerers still walk the earth.
Though this project is still a hobby, I am spending time on it regularly and currently busy with the first draft. However, there is still a lot of world building and other work left, so that occupies me as well.

I am 39 years old and live in the Netherlands (Europe).
