I am known to many as Rood (said rode)...it is Dutch for the color red; my nickname. As a child my mother skipped the fairytales and read to me bioagraphies and historical accounts of ancients peoples and places. Also as a child my brother and I created a fantastical world all our own; I have been writing those stories down for the past seven years. I hold a degree in history and a minor in cultural studies. I have lived half my life in Europe and half in the United States. I want a collaboration with some other authors as I know it will make my own work that much richer and challenge myself to meet a partner in writing who has the same passionate love of story telling in similar genres. I write adult themed stories with great detail. They are really not for the faint of heart or young. I write in fantasy, supernatural, horror, and mythology genres.
