Author Biography

Phil van Wulven was born in Africa, in a family who changed houses and schools, as well as countries, quite often. Landlords, Headmasters, and governments prefer you to leave places as you found them, he discovered. He has lived in Canada for quite a while now, where he is busy growing roots. He hates rejection almost as much as dejection. He likes trees, birds, sunsets, and all that, and is getting used to the idea that seeing a sunrise doesn't mean he is on the way to work.
