I'm married to William (Bill). Originally from Holland, the LORD called us in 1989 to Israel. We very much feel at home here and since 1991 became foster parents of (very) special needs children. Presently we have 2 girls aged 22 and 21. Our 14 year old boy died very unexpectedly in February 2009 and we're still trying to cope with the loss. A nurse by profession, I'm a full-time mother, whose is interested in too many things. After finishing the Long Ridge Writing Course "Breaking into print" and their "Novel Course" I couldn't but write. As God is using my Gift of writing, I keep honing my skills. Two Biblical/Historical novels are waiting for a publisher interrested enough to print them. I've written more than 100 non-fiction articles and stories and lately been writing about Isael for a US based radio station. Often I write under the pen-name Christina Boerma. My latest endevour is a new novel set in 1938 Amsterdam, Holland, which will end in Israel 1948.
