JACK LANCE

Author of mysterious thrillers.

Dutch suspense author Jack Lance (pseudonym for Ron Puyn) has published several novels and short story collections in his own country. So far, close to 100,000 copies of his books have been sold in the Netherlands and Belgium alone.

As of 2010 his books will be published in the Netherlands and Belgium by uitgeverij Luitingh, in German translation (for Germany, Switzerland, Austria) by Verlagsgruppe Lübbe and in Czech translation by Albatros, a publishing house from Prague.

A film and a theatre production was made of Jack's story Tikken. As an author he makes no secret of his fondness for Stephen King and Dean Koontz’s work. Many reviewers call him “the Dutch Stephen King”.

Jack started his career as a journalist. He worked for some of the major magazines in the Netherlands, primarily writing about supernatural and other paranormal phenomena. His best articles are collected in the true story series Wonderlijk maar waar, published under his real name Ron Puyn.
