Historical Fiction

How would you feel if, at eight years old, you lost your parents, a war began, and the government brands you an enemy of the state?

This is the reality for a young boy named Victor–who happens to be my dad, the only child of Austrian settlers in Java, Indonesia.

Victor learns to become invisible in a world where silence means survival. As he grows older, a shocking family secret finally emerges—one that challenges his very identity and compels him to leave his homeland. He eventually ends up in Europe, where he meets the love of his life.

Please read more about the story on the Books page. 

Even Without Blood is my debut novel, firstly published by HarperCollins Holland in 2020 [title: Schuilen Tussen Bamboe]. It was well received by Dutch readers and praised as a page-turner.

I translated the book into English, collaborated with Canadian freelance editor Margo LaPierre, which resulted in a revised, enriched version of the novel tailored to a North American audience.

Although based on a true story and real characters, Even Without Blood is a work of biographical and historical fiction.
