    "I love writing into the dark; like to be surprised by the characters scavenging through my own stories. Just before things are getting familiar; when I think, or at least believe, to know where a new story is going to, I give it a twist and make my readers (and myself) wonder... how the hell is this going to end?"WORDS and VISIONEduard Meinema is writer and visual artist. He writes in an exciting and humorous style. Creates intense, passionate and mysterious stories filled with unexpected twists which will seduce anyone to finish reading at full speed. Beside his full length novels, Eduard is fond of writing Flash Fiction and Short Stories. All of these 'Twisted Tales' are published as stand alone eBooks in the series 'Flash & Shorts'.Meinema's works of art include so called 'lyric abstract' paintings. Expressionistic works made of Acrylics and Sand. But also Pop-art, including characters known as 'Skredches' (Yes! There is a blog:check out the official site to find blog feeds!!) and...fish paintings. As Meinema says: "Ah! I love fish. Love to see them. Love to keep them. Breed them, paint them, eat them... (ouch, sorry for that...). Oh yeah, I love fish in each and every way."Meinema, born 1963 (Delft, The Netherlands) is former CEO of a temp office, specialized in contracting technicians. Together with his wife he has managed a gallery for contemporary art and jewelry for more than ten years. Nowadays Meinema is fulltime writer and visual artist.

      FLASH AND SHORTS # 416030301 – GIFTED

      Bills, bills, bills. George Hamilton was desperate. Every day he hoped for a miracle. Hell! He would pray for one if he would have been a religious man. But miracles were no part of Hamilton’s life. Every day the pile of invoices grew faster than he would ever earn the money to pay them. A troublesome situation he could not escape. It kept him awake at night and it kept him afraid during the daylight when bills were haunting him by snail mail, email and voice mail. Most days he did not even dare to open the door of his lousy apartment, convinced he would find someone from a collection agency at his doorstep. He couldn’t remember how he got into this mess and he could not think of any way to get out of it.
