I was recently interviewed at the Dutch Association of Journalists' (Nederlandse Vereniging van Journalisten) Festival for the Enterprising Journalist. A great day of networking and cross pollination that literally left you refueled with inspiration.

Lot, the Dutch version of The Roots That Clutch has been selected for purchase by the Dutch library system. L. Torn, critic and purchaser for the Dutch libraries, called the novel "intriguing". Metro's Boekenstrooijer, a critic for Metro who leaves his favorite books at various locations in the Netherlands and informs readers via Instagram so that they can go and look for the book, said the book was "powerfully written".
