I became Anah which was easy as my mum was the inspiration and I am so like her. I initially self-published Anah's War as I wanted to give a copy to my parents as a tribute to them. After completing the book I had to go and visit Nijmegen to experience the town they lived in. I was able to participate in the town's rememberence ceremonies of those lost in the war and visit my father's home where fortuitious circumstances allowed me to go inside and even climb into the cellar where my father hid during the bombings.I am in my fifties and books are an ever present part of my life. I now love reading different styles of books encouraged by the fabulous bookclub I've been part of for the last 7 years. Going to the Sydney Writers Festival each year has become a passion, both as a reader and a writer.I can be reached at email address johannavr.55@gmail.comvizualizați mai puține
