Kris Terwindt

Kris Terwindt (1978) schreef als meisje van zes met een dik, blauw potlood grote woorden in kleine schriftjes. Met haar verhalen vol humor en dramatische wendingen vermaakte ze haar klasgenoten en leraren jaar in, jaar uit. Maar schrijver werd ze niet.
Ze studeerde twee jaar aan het Koninklijk Instituut voor de Marine, maar bleek totaal ongeschikt voor het leger, werd leraar basisonderwijs en studeerde Onderwijskunde aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Ze stond voor de klas in het basis- en middelbaar onderwijs en gaf les aan juffen en meesters.
Na twintig jaar dagelijks verhalen vertellen aan haar leerlingen, stak de drang om te schrijven weer de kop op. Onontkoombaar dit keer. En nu luisterde ze wel.
