He wrote his first novel, the Sci Fi Adolar, in a weekend! It got published right away… He published with big Dutch publishers such as De Arbeiderspers in Amsterdam. With his books All-Father and Wolf Tears, he earned the name critics gave him of The Dutch Stephen King.
Koos Verkaik is the writer of about 60 books, both children’s books and novels, many hundreds of comic scripts, he has been a copy writer and is working on different screenplays and new novels now.
