He has a continuous fascination for the way in which people express the unknown—that which cannot be known—in symbolism, in cults and religions. It keeps him mystified and fuels his own yearning for answers.Jaap Cové grew up in The Netherlands, and lives and writes in Palm Springs, CA (USA). After high school, he traveled the world, developing an interest in anthropology, in which he holds a Master’s degree from the University of Amsterdam, specializing in cultural symbolism, myths, cults and religion. The cultures of the world, and the diversity of spiritual insights, are inexhaustible sources of inspiration in his writing.A second, but no less important, passion for Jaap is music, a recurring theme in his stories. As a drummer and percussionist, he has had many years of experience on the road from Holland to the United States.He toured the Pacific Northwest and Canada during the 90’s with his indie band Outcry. His novel, Walking Among Us, is a tribute to that band and era.The gripping Cajú, his next novel, breathes with the restless spirit of Brazil, a country where he did field research and to which he will always return.view less
