About Me

I'm a Dutch writer and photographer (mainly in the rock/metal/gothic field). I'm the proud mother of a daughter and I have two grandchildren. My son-in-law is the best son-in-law a mother can wish for! :) When I was waaay waay younger I used to play the drums and sing in a band. My daughter is a forensic detective and she works for the CSI here in The Hague. She also runs a jazz/streetdance ballet school and her husband is in business and is also a freetime jazzsinger in a band. What more is there to tell? I live on the coast, about 200 metres from the beach and the dunes, where I spent a lot of my time... I write most of my short stories outdoors in this inspiring landscape. And, oh yes, I'm an addicted Sims 1 player....Furthermore: About the photo's. All pictures are taken by me (Singha Gerrits) and copyrighted. No use or 'borrowing' without permission, please!
