Sitting Next to a Stranger book launch, interviews, podcast, and celebrations
I launched my book in April, connected with the audience, got used to the idea of my book on people's shelves, and held my interview.
​
Scroll down for impressions, or read the full report on my Substack, where I talk about how books surprise us, different interpretations of books, and who I wrote this book for.
​
My friend and actor Andrew Van Wilpe interviewed me about my book, the writing process, and Mexico! Check the video on YouTube (36 minutes). Or click here if you prefer to read the interview.​​
Book signing - The Netherlands - 12 April
The book signing took place at the local bookstore. We arranged cakes with the book cover on them, balloons, my lucky pencil, and of course, the books.
The local newspaper announced the signing. Read it here (in Dutch).
Book launch - Q&A - Prague - 26 April
I enter a calm garden in the city center. The sky is blue, and the weather is perfect after four days of rain.
I place three journals on display. They are the original manuscript of my just-published novel, Sitting Next to a Stranger. I am setting up a small exhibition while I wait for my nerves to calm down and for the guests to arrive.
