    Jan Prins

    Grew up as the eldest son in a teacher's family, the Dutch economist Jan Prins (Amsterdam, 1946) was at an early age face a severe asthma that he frequent and prolonged shackled to the bed. In those difficult years, he found solace in reading different stories that brought him virtually in another world and made him forget his illness.This deep experience led him both during his studies and later during his work using writing to clarify its objectives and to convey.In the course of his life as a Governor in the Healthcare he was also always delighted in writing of policy papers, and it is in such a way that this for every person in the organization was clear. This pleasure in writing also extended during all kinds of other managerial activities and consultancy. Also the writing of stories and giving lectures always gave him a lot of satisfaction.With writing books, he has embarked on a new path.Its social commitment, coupled with a broad interest in the human being in all its diversity, brought him to the letter of the most diverse current stories and books. Most are pure fiction, these are covered by the so-called faction genre. These are fictional events mixed and displayed against and in a historical context.Writing has always been a part of his life, whether it comes to writing novels, stories, lyrics, life stories or speeches. He hopes to continue this in his further life.Meanwhile, there are now many books and publications in Dutch and English published.-----------------Opgegroeid als oudste zoon binnen een onderwijzersgezin werd de Nederlandse econoom Jan Prins (Amsterdam, 1946) al op jonge leeftijd geconfronteerd met een ernstig astma dat hem veelvuldig en langdurig aan het bed kluisterde. In die moeilijke jaren vond hij troost in het lezen van uiteenlopende verhalen die hem virtueel in een andere wereld brachten en hem zijn ziekte deden vergeten.​Deze diepe ervaring bracht hem ertoe om zowel tijdens zijn studie als later tijdens zijn werk het schrijven te gebruiken om zijn doelstellingen duidelijk te maken en over te brengen.​In de loop van zijn leven als Bestuurder in de Gezondheidszorg vond hij daardoor altijd veel genoegen in het schrijven van beleidsstukken en wel op een dusdanige manier dat dit voor een ieder in de organisatie duidelijk was. Dit plezier in het schrijven strekte zich ook uit tijdens allerlei andere bestuursactiviteiten en advieswerk. Ook het schrijven van verhalen en het houden van lezingen gaf hem altijd veel voldoening.Met het schrijven van boeken heeft hij een nieuwe weg ingeslagen.​Zijn maatschappelijk engagement, gepaard aan een brede belangstelling voor de mens in al zijn verscheidenheid, bracht hem tot het schrijven van de meest uiteen lopende verhalen en boeken. De meeste zijn pure fictie, deze vallen onder het zogenaamde faction genre. Hierbij worden fictieve gebeurtenissen vermengd en weergegeven tegen en in een historische achtergrond.​Schrijven heeft altijd onderdeel van zijn leven uitgemaakt, of het nu om het schrijven van romans, verhalen, teksten, levensverhalen of toespraken gaat. Hij hoopt hier nog lang mee door te gaan!Inmiddels zijn er vele boeken en publicaties van zijn hand verschenen, waarvan enkele in het Engels.
