De #lente is (een beetje té) vroeg begonnen en de #krokussen staan volop in bloei! 🌷
In het nieuwe #Paranatellonta filmpje lees ik dan ook "De witte krokus" voor.

I have a novella coming out April 13th. All That Glitters is the silliest you will likely ever see me. It makes me laugh and brings me joy and hopefully it will also bring YOU laughter and joy. Preorder on Kobo!

I managed to record it, though it took way longer than it should have. Let's hope it sounds somewhat okay. Now it's editing rush hour.
