Suzanne Vermeer

Suzanne Vermeer is het pseudoniem van de in juni 2011 overleden auteur Paul Goeken. In 2002 debuteerde hij met zijn eerste thriller onder zijn eigen naam. Na vier titels ontstond het idee om daarnaast andere boeken onder pseudoniem uit te brengen. All-inclusive (2006) was het eerste boek op naam van Suzanne Vermeer en werd meteen een bestseller. Ook voor de volgende boeken waren de reisbranche en het toerisme het uitgangspunt en inmiddels is dat het unieke handelsmerk geworden voor deze ijzersterke vakantiethrillers.

Alle titels (All inclusive, De vlucht, Zomertijd, Cruise, Après-ski, De suite, Zwarte piste en Bella Italia ) zijn in de bestsellerlijst verschenen. De zomerthriller Cruise (2009) werd genomineerd voor de NS Publieksprijs 2010.

Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez

Hello! I'm Alisa. I'm a writer and musician from New Mexico. I got my start writing in newspapers for nearly a decade, and then made the move to novels. I write in a variety of genres, though all of my work tends to have something to do with the things that interest me. Whether I'm writing young adult novels or historical fiction for adults, my stories are alike in that they seek to un-erase erased people, cultures and events, and there's usually something supernatural involved, as well as a general awe and reverence for the natural world. Fairness is important to me. Kindness is important to me. Holding monsters accountable is important to me. I try to write about all of that but also to keep things funny.

Having completed her Bachelor’s degree, Christine worked for city law firms advising on capital raising and mergers and acquisitions.
