Johan Klein Haneveld

Johan is a writer with his enbtore heart. At this moment he published more than twenty novels and won several prices with his short story’s. When he was a young boy, he wrote story’s about the biologist Joost Kempers. He fought with terrorists, which used to hide their super weapons on crocodile farms, followed time travellers to a post-apocalyptic time. He was a strong and assertive person.

Johan did al these travels in his mind. He travels to the bottom of the ocean and to distant planets, caves and islands. “I believe that we can pick up more of our own reality in our imagination. Things we can not see wit our eyes. And I’m not only enjoying this in books and films, but I also like to enjoy these things during festivals, convention and by going to the zoo. I also like to take care of my fish, frogs and turtles. I also write essay’s and do book reviews.

Besides al these things Johan loves coffee, like many of his main characters, and works for an animal magazine
