I write character driven stories that are placed in far away places that delve into the human condition, the things we do to survive, and to find meaning in our lives.

Loes den Hollander schrijft al vanaf het moment dat ze kon lezen. Aanvankelijk poëzie, later columns, daarna verhalen en ten slotte haar eerste boek. Toch kwam het nooit in haar op om van schrijven haar beroep te maken, omdat ze zich helemaal richtte op haar carrière in de gezondheidszorg. Dat veranderde toen ze in 2001 een verhalenwedstrijd won. Vanaf dat moment ging er voor haar gevoel een luik in haar hoofd open waar een onstuitbare lading teksten achter zit die zich allemaal verdringen om te worden opgeschreven. Toen ze in 2006 haar carrière als directeur van een gezondheidszorginstelling beëindigde, vond ze vrijwel tegelijk een uitgever voor Vrijdag, haar eerste literaire thriller.

I also used to live in Manchester — another great city (although technically I lived in Salford which is next door but that’s sort of splitting hairs).

After I left university I wanted to write for the NME — I’ve always loved music but it was only when I went to uni that it started loving me back. I can’t play any instruments or sing so writing about music seemed to make sense.
