Greta van der Rol


Biography

Greta van der Rol wishes she was born a thousand years or so in the future, where space ships zip around the Galaxy and people have adventures on exotic worlds. Well, if you can’t be there, why not write about it? And slap in a healthy dollop of romance, too?

After many years in the computer industry, Greta now writes full time. Her first published book, 'Die a Dry Death', is historical fiction based on the true story of the wreck of the Dutch merchant ship Batavia off the desolate coast of Western Australia in 1629. There may some more historical fiction in the future but for now, Greta is working on more fast and furious space romps, because they're fun.

She lives in sub-tropical Queensland, Australia, near the beach. When she isn’t writing she enjoys cooking and photography.
