I am a Dutch-Canadian author, working internationally as an ICT consultant out of the magical city of Amsterdam. For many years I have been fascinated by history, notably WW2 aviation and it was only a matter of time before I started writing about it. As a result, I have published three "Historical Fiction" books over the past few years.
The latest is called "Pearl Harbor and more - stories of December 7, 1941" and is an anthology of stories written by me and seven other writers. Reviewers have rated our work on Amazon with 4.7 stars out of 5!.
In September 2014, I published "The Odyssey", the first book in the "Java Gold" series. The story starts at the outbreak of the Pacific War. With the Japanese invaders at Java's doorstep, a cargo of gold is hurriedly put aboard an airplane for safe delivery in Australia. But a malignant fate intervenes, the flight goes astray and the cargo is lost. The story then follows the survivors of the flight as they try to recover this treasure after the war. Reviewers rated the books high, with 4.8 stars out of 5. Here's what some of them say:
Cristoph Fischer Historical Novel Society; Rating Five stars out Five on 3 Nov 2015.
Interesting characters, a fascinating historical background, excellent suspense and a really good plot made this a very memorable and rewarding reading experience.
Vigilant Reader Book Reviews, Rating Four stars out of five on 4 Sep 2016.
The main story is fiction, but it is wrapped within accurate historical data of the war effort. The plot is complex and the author's attention to details and research are exemplary.
I highly recommend this story for action/adventure and WWII fans
Ron, reader, Rating Five Stars out of Five, 15 August 2015: this one did keep me wanting to keep reading to find out what happens next. I also enjoyed the inclusion of factual information about people and places.
I hop my story on Wattpad will keep you reading too!
