NEW NOVEL SET IN THE NETHERLANDS
Tulip Days Rhiannon van der Munnik is a women's fiction author and just released her debut novel, TULIP DAYS, a few weeks ago. About the book: Seraphina, a twenty four year old poet from California, has never doubted that she loves her Dutch husband, or that she will spend the rest of her life with him. But when his job brings them to the Netherlands, an introduction to her husband's childhood friend (Jakob, a charming violinist) leads to a series of events which force Seraphina to ask herself if the life she has is truly the one she wants. Spanning nearly a decade, TULIP DAYS delves into the aftermath of her decision, and paints a carefully constructed portrait of a young woman attempting to bloom amidst the raw and foreign landscape of Holland.

ONBEKWAAM TOT ENIG GOED ONBEKWAAM TOT ENIG GOED
Authors Lex Moen and Wim Overeem have written a new book (in Dutch) which is just on the market. It is a thriller, in the Dan Brown style, more or less, in which two men and one woman find out about the true nature of the angels and of God. Everything they have learned about religion is true, but yet very different, the motives of the angels are horrific. But how do you oppose God, the creator of the universe?
