How long does it take you to write your books?
It was about seven years for Hunger Winter and six for Time for Courage.
Where did you get the to write books about the Dutch experience during World War Two?
Three things influenced me. First, I have had a lifelong interest in World War II and the Holocaust because my father was a World War II veteran. Second, my wife is of Dutch heritage. The third and final influence was when my son, Steven, then in seventh grade, wrote a short story about the Netherlands during the war.
How many of the events in your books actually happened?
The characters are fictional but the vast majority of what they did is based on actual events.
What kids' books do you like?
My favorites include Code of Silence, Gregor the Overlander, and Snow Treasure.
What are your favorite World War II movies?
The Guns of Navarone and The Bridge on the River Kwai.
