Stardark is coming! Time to party!
Happy New Year! I don't know a better way to start 2025: Stardark (Sterrenduister) will be published this month! Yay! What a journey that was. I'll probably cover that in a different blog post.
Now I could explain what the book is about, but I have something much better for that: a book trailer! Which is in Dutch, just as the book is (sorry, foreign friends). I made the illustrations and animations. The music is by Christopher Caouette, and was specially made for this book. And it fits so well! It perfectly captures the atmosphere! Go check out his work, if you love fantasy music too: www.christophercaouette.com
Translation:
The stars are disappearing,
the nights are turning black.
Soon the sun will fade away as well.
An astronomer warns her people for the coming darkness, but no one wants to listen.
Can she save the world or will her last light die?

The Darkening comes in January 2025
The book will be released at the end of this month. You can order it very soon on my publisher's site: www.zilverspoor.com
Do you want more than just a book? Then look at the mystery bookboxes of Anderwereld. With these book boxes you'll not only get a book, but also nice matching goodies. It's a surprise what you get, but if you watched my book trailer, the January book box should look familiar: https://www.anderwereld-magie.nl/product/mystery-boekenbox-januari-fantascifi/
Tight on cash? No problem, I have something nice that costs nothing at all: a 'treasure hunt'! I hid a 'treasure' on my site. These are digital goodies that you can download. To find the treasure, you need to talk to the characters from Stardark, make the right choices and solve puzzles. The treasure hunt will not officially start until Wednesday, but followers of my blog will get a head start! Does this treasure hunt sound fun? Then look here:
Finally: this Wednesday I am a guest at About Books, the podcast of Uitgeverij Zilverspoor! There I will talk extensively about Stardark and answer listeners' questions. So chat along!
When? Wednesday, January 8, 19:30.
Can't make it? Don't worry, you can watch the episode again. Chatting becomes a bit difficult, though, haha!
Life's going to be busy! And yes, we are also still renovating our house. We already live there, but it will take a while before our home is really finished. Enough to do, then!
