The photo shows the presentation of an advisory committee concerned with the cultural heritage of the Maroon people of Surinam, which I am honoured to be a part of.

October 2025: The Dutch manuscript of CONTESTED LAND was recently edited by my good friend Hanneke van de Water, and I am now busy translating it into English. In addition, I posted a new article in my blog titled Book burnings, about the world-wide drive to limit freedom of expression, and the inherent risks of the use of AI in writing.
September 2025: A friend who visited Surinam, found the Dutch edition of my last published book ANANSI in the VACO bookshop in Paramaribo! See photo below.
The English edition of my historical novel ANANSI was published in 2023 and is available from Amazon - see the BOOKS page.
