Life is messy and I try to reflect that in my stories while still leaving readers with a feeling of hope. I want them to see themselves and people they know in my characters.

You could say writing is in my genes. My paternal grandmother was a formidable diarist; my father was a journalist and poet; my sister and cousin are both published authors; even my son has shown a talent for putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) to tell awesome stories. So, it came as no surprise to anyone when I returned to my love of fiction after more than 20 years in the world of corporate communications–although some might argue there was plenty of opportunity for fiction-writing there, too.

A fan of many genres, I find it hard to stay within the publishing

I've loved to create stories for as long as I can remember; characters come tumbling out of my brain and worlds develop around them. I have always wanted to be a writer but, somehow, life got in the way - with writing happening "in between". Not that I regret the eddies of my life. I grew up in a lovely, noisy, active, Dutch/Indonesian-origin migrant family, the second child of eight with a father and mother who knew how to laugh, had a keen interest in not taking anything for granted, and loved to philosophise and read books; they valued education and thoughtfulness. Reflecting now on my childhood, I often wonder why, given that I was often scribbling stories, that my parents didn't encourage me to take up a writing career. I asked my moth

Jack Meyer

Jack became intrigued by thrillers when Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October was published in 1984. For the next 16 years he was content to read as much as he could and didn’t give writing much thought. That changed, however, during the 2000 Presidential election as he watched TV coverage of the Florida recount and the “hanging chads” controversy. It gave him the idea that an election conspiracy would be a great basis for a thriller. Unfortunately his career, which included management positions in corporate America and small business ownership as well as a brief stint in ministry, kept Jack too busy to write until he retired in 2020. That’s when he began his life as an author.

Alisanya

Hi there! I've been a fan of fantasy tales, anime and manga for over 10 years, and always had many fictional stories swirling in my head (especially when listening to music to set the mood). One day, I decided to finally put them to use and start writing.

I like to write stories where the protagonists need to use clever tactics and proper teamwork to emerge victorious, making fights interesting and keeping you on the edge of your seat. That said, I'm a fan of cunning villains as well and not just fools getting outsmarted like no tomorrow. This makes each encounter's outcome unpredictable and intriguing, adding to the thrill of the story. Of course, I'm talking about major villains, not every small encounter. I write scenes where the protagon

Over the years, I have wandered through many countries, cities, and winding roads — each one leaving a quiet light within me.

Like with real journeys, I don't want to walk only one road.

I believe that every story is a discovery — a glimpse into another part of the world, and another part of ourselves.
