About

Picture of me. My hair is pink and orange, I'm wearing dark purple glasses and a Minnesota Vikings Pride Skol t-shirt.

The name’s Jantien, born 1987. Born and raised in Rotterdam, the Netherlands but moved to Limerick, Ireland (again) in 2013.

Avid bookworm, as I was raised by a bookworm family and my mother who supplied me with books and who took me to the library every Wednesday. Always wrote in journals as a child but got properly bitten by the writing bug as a teen, when LiveJournal and blogging became popular.

I have 4 chapters in the Mental Health For Millennials series by my publisher, Book Hub Publishing Group. The first chapter, in volume 4 “On Wellbeing“, is about homelessness. The second one, in volume 5 “On Resiliency” is about my Systemic Lupus Erythematosus diagnosis. The third one, in volume 6 “On Hope and Inclusion” is about my stillborn baby, Riley. The last one, in volume 7 “On Being in the Moment” is a love letter to my beloved Miss Marples.
