Coming this October! 🌍💥 A brand-new Plaza Patatta book is on its way! From the Big Bang to You takes young readers on a funny, fascinating journey from the very beginning of the universe… all the way to YOU. Science, history, crazy facts and lots of Plaza Patatta fun! 📚💙

Some books are all thrills. Others are all comfort. I love writing stories that give you both. A warm cup of tea... and just enough suspense to keep you reading one more chapter. #CozyReads #SuspenseBooks #Bookstagram #ReadersOfInstagram 💙📚

Aankondiging van een superleuk dierenboek. Komend najaar! Nieuw bij ons! 'Zoveel grappige dieren. 50 vrolijke feitjes over je favoriete dier.'

Planning isn't what's stopping you. Trying to plan everything before writing is. Start with one scene. The rest of the world will introduce itself.

No spoilers. Just a promise that I love surprising my readers. If you enjoy stories that keep you guessing, this one might be for you. #PlotTwist #SuspenseNovel #BookRecommendation #MysteryReaders 💙📚

The ending is where readers decide whether a story stays with them. So hearing someone say they loved the ending... That means the world. Thank you for reading. #BookReview #SpringLies #Readers #BookCommunity 💙📚

💙📚 Every book teaches me something. Every story asks for a different voice. That's what keeps writing exciting after all these years. I'm always learning. #CreativeJourney #IndieAuthor #Storyteller #WritingLife

💙📚 People often ask what writers do when they're not writing. The answer? We're still writing... just inside our heads. Stories have a habit of following us everywhere. #AuthorLife #CreativeProcess #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

💙📚 Research tells me what happened. Imagination tells me why it mattered. Somewhere between the two, a story begins. That's my favourite place to be. #WritingLife #AuthorThoughts #BehindTheScenes #Storytelling

RELAX. I'VE GOT YOU. A hammock. A good story. An afternoon with nowhere to be. That's my definition of luxury.

💙📚 Life is rarely just one thing. It can be funny and heartbreaking. Light and profound. That's exactly the balance I try to capture in my stories. #MidlifeFiction #BookLovers #AuthorJourney #MustRead

PLANS FOR TONIGHT Cancel. Cancel. Cancel. Read. No explanation needed.

Every unfinished book starts the same way. Not because people run out of talent. Because they fall in love with the next idea. Creative Lifestyle | Time blocking

Before a story finds its place on a bookshelf... It first finds its place in the hearts of a handful of readers. I'm looking for enthusiastic readers who enjoy giving honest feedback before publication. As part of my Review Team, you'll: 📖 read advance copies 💬 share your thoughts 💙📚

💙📚 Endings are the hardest part to write. You want readers to close the book feeling satisfied... while still carrying the story with them. Hearing this makes me smile. #ReadersLove #BookReview #AuthorLife #BooksBooksBooks

NEW READS ARE MY FAVORITE The smell. The first page. The promise that this story might stay with me for years. Nothing quite compares. What's sitting on your nightstand right now?

Reading has always been a conversation for me. First between me and the page. Then between me and my readers. That's why you'll start seeing regular book club questions here. Whether you've read one of my books or you're simply someone who loves stories...💙📚

Stop cheating on your book. Every time a new idea appears... you abandon the one that could actually become a finished book. Creative Lifestyle. How to finish your project?

💙📚 Some stories entertain. Others quietly stay with you long after you've closed the book. If Midlife Mayhem & Merlot leaves readers thinking about what truly matters, then I've done what I hoped to do. #Women'sFiction #FeelGoodBooks #Bookstagram #ReadingLife

MID-LIFE STRATEGY Apparently some people buy sports cars in midlife. I buy books. Much cheaper. Much better company.

The best book clubs don't just talk about books. They talk about life. The stories simply give us a place to begin.💙📚 Pull up a chair. The conversation has only just begun. ❤️

It stayed suspenseful until the very end Keeping readers guessing until the final page... That's always the goal.💙📚 Knowing the suspense held until the end makes every hour spent writing worthwhile. #SuspenseBooks #BookAddict #AmReading #ThrillerReads

I'm building a collection of creative writing courses, starting with children's books. Would you like to be one of my first students? 💙📚 The first members of my learning platform will receive a guided workbook, story-building tools and more.

Your next idea isn't your problem. Following it is. Creative Lifestyle. What if there's too many ideas?

DO I NEED PERMISSION? NO. Somewhere along the way, many women start waiting for permission. To change. To dream. To leave. To begin again. Here's the good news: Nobody gets to decide your story except you.

Sometimes we lose ourselves quietly. Not because something dramatic happened. But because life became busy. Responsibilities... Everyone else came first. One of the themes in Midlife, Mayhem & Merlot is finding your way back to yourself. I'd genuinely love to read your answers. 💙📚

The book read very smoothly There's nothing better than hearing a reader say they couldn't stop turning the pages. I always hope my stories feel effortless to read—even when the emotions underneath are anything but simple. Thank you for reading. 💙📚 #BookLover #IndieAuthor #ReadingCommunity #BookRe

CURRENT MOOD. NEW BOOK. There are few problems that don't become a little smaller after chapter one. New books feel like tiny fresh starts. What's the last book that completely pulled you in?
