I’m a little behind on the upkeep of my duties to keep this news page up to date, so here goes. Quite a bit to talk about.

Firstly, in February – I was cast as both leading characters RAF pilot and adventurer Kirk Blazer and evil mastermind Lord Welton in the first staged reading of Spirit of the Pharaoh, a new, exciting graphic novel by Simon Furman and Terry Jervis. I’ve helped with their promotion at my very first Comic-Con, as well – and hope to stay involved in the future feature film adaptation.

Taking a trip back to the Motherland, I was very excited to be on stage for the first time since I left my hometown Deventer over 9 years ago (the local newspaper even called it a ‘home game’, haha!) I was invited to join as a performer for an edition of Uitgelezen Verhalen in the idyllic Theater Bouwkunde, where three actors and a musician make literature come alive through performance. I ended up reading / performing a short story from Robert Coover: ‘Going for a Beer‘, and a short story from Mensje van Keulen in Dutch. Thanks to Pieter van Scherpenberg for inviting me.
