What does a Californian accustomed to eternal sunshine do when sunset is at 4:27 p.m. in the winter? You pour yourself yet another cup of tea and set up camp behind the keyboard. And thus, my years as a blogger writing about daily experiences in the Netherlands, were born. As I began to write, not for my day job, but for myself and my family and friends, the writer within me, who had been contained all of these years by professional gigs, was set free.
As my blogging voice developed on Kristin In Holland, I picked up a manuscript I had started in 2010 and started breathing new life into it. After revising my first draft, I sent it off to a half-dozen friends in California, New York and The Netherlands. Two drafts and two years later, I transformed my novel into an engaging reading experience I am proud to share with the world. Green, which was released in November of 2013 is available on Amazon.
My second novel, The Things We Said in Venice, released in March of 2017. I am currently working on my third and fourth novels.
Both of my novels are available on Amazon.com, amazon.de and amazon.co.uk.
I invite you to follow along with me on my journey through this blog and the Kristin in Holland blog.
I loved reading your draft novel and discussing all of it’s potential! Can’t wait to see it in the final form, title and cover revealed!
Congrats on your website launch, Kristin! Looking forward to the big day when your book comes out.
Glad to see you writing — it does open the soul!
I was just remembering reading Things We Said in Venice. Makes me think about planning a romantic vacation!
Very nice to hear Delilah!
