Autorenporträt
Johanna was born and raised in The Netherlands. She obtained a Fine Arts degree in Amsterdam and entered the social work profession as a creative therapist in an addiction treatment center in Amsterdam. She immigrated to Canada in her early thirties, married a Canadian, had a daughter, and returned to university; she graduated from University of Victoria in BC with a Bachelor's degree in social work. Since 1982, she worked in a variety of community settings and positions in Albert and BC - the last 17 years in child protection. She discovered writing later in life and finally put her long-held wish to write a book one day into action with publishing On Thin Ice - a short story collection - in 2012 while taking intensive writing courses, enjoying the act of writing as a life-giving force. Johanna wrote her stories to inspire and entertain her readers, and share what life taught her.
