Kirsten Bett

Kirsten Bett (1962) is from New Zealand and also has the Dutch nationality. She now lives in the Netherlands and wrote her first book after returning to the Netherlands after working and living in New Zealand from 2007-2017.

Her partner Wim and their two cats lived in the Wairarapa, just north of Wellington. In her New Zealand period, Kirsten completed a diploma in Creative Writing. "I discovered that words just flow if I write in English. It's my creative language."

Having returned to the Netherlands, both Wim and Kirsten have downsized their lives to spend more time doing things they love.
