Hello, readers!

I can’t wait for you to read my suspense novel LOWLANDS and tell me what you think.

In the story, a woman goes missing while on a family holiday and is presumed drowned, though her body isn’t recovered. What really happened to her and why?

The novel is set in an affluent neighborhood in Amsterdam and on a fictional Dutch island in the Wadden Sea.

Most of you have heard of Amsterdam, with its picturesque ring canals and tolerant residents, but you may wonder, what the heck is the Wadden Sea?

It lies along the northern coast of the Netherlands and extends along the coasts of Germany and Denmark. It’s the home to a string of islands as well as to birds, seals, fish, and crawly things that live on the bottom.

When the tide is out, you can walk across the mudflats from the mainland to the islands, but don’t dawdle or get your feet stuck, because the tide returns with a vengeance. Always cross with a guide! The less athletically inclined (which includes me) can take the ferry.

I hope LOWLANDS keeps you turning the pages!
