Author Biography

Roos Boum, that’s me and please pronounce Roos as Rose and not as roos as in rooster, was born long long time ago somewhere in the sixties and I’m a Dutch author who in the millennium year was fed up with The Netherlands and emigrated to France with Eric and some 20 animals, him included. I made my debut in 2007 with my autobiography and bestseller ‘Valse salie’, about my horrific youth with a loony mother committing Munchausen by proxy. This bestseller is translated into multiple languages, that I even don’t begin to understand apart from English, and that particular translation came out in 2014: ‘False Jasmine, A Youth Ripped Apart’. After my debut another ten of my books and some fifty short stories were published. Oh, and I did some poems too. They call me a multidisciplinary author, because my oeuvre includes thrillers, fantasy, as well as children’s books; but I just like to write what comes to mind. Better out than in I always say. In 2013 my thriller ‘Dode mannen moorden niet’, won a prestigious price: ‘De nieuwe schrijversprijs’. The same year over twenty of my short stories ended first or very high in writing competitions. Yep, that was a very productive year and my readers and the media were full of praise for my work. Most of my short stories are published in ‘Het Macaronihondje’ (The Macaroni Dog), 2013, by publisher: Droomvallei Uitgeverij. In 2015, I moved further south in France and I thought it a good moment to stop writing. One has to stop at the very peak of his carreer, hasn’t one? So I stopped creating new work and I am now translating my oeuvre into English.
