    Eduard Meinema

    "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.

      Chimney sweep.

      You say what?

      According to my grandfather, that was a fair profession: chimney sweep, said Brad. He collapsed in his seat and placed his heavy work shoes with the extra sturdy metal noses on the dashboard.

      Dude, chimney sweeps were already extinct before your grandfather went into his coffin, Joshua responded roughly.

      Well thanks Josh, don’t bother my feelings. My grandfather died when I was ten. So that was in 2119. In those days there really were chimneyswee…

      Yeah. Right. What do I care Brad? Joshua sighed impatiently.

      Hey! You just said that you don’t know of any profession of which you immediately know what that profession entails. Well, a chimney sweep sweeps the chimney. No dubious ‘Manager’ - title. Just sweep. Go into that chimney. And sweep. Period.

      Whatever you want Brad. It is your day. Now, would Mr. ‘Junk Manager’ be so kind to give me the coordinates? I would like to hear from you what area we are going to clean today, said Joshua Skidmore in a consciously affected voice. Then I can steer this flying pile of scrap in the right direction.
