From the Frisian lakes to the world

After stubbornly self-publishing my Dutch book (successfully navigating around the big blue corporate publishers!), I thought: why not go global?
I suffer from chronic overconfidence and nothing seems impossible!

And that’s true, anything is possible…

But wow, what an adventure… Finding a printer in the UK, dealing with international VAT complications, daily shipments – after a few months it became clear I was spending more time ‘playing publisher’ than writing and creating.

So for once, I set aside my stubbornness

‘I Give Birth to the Universe’ is now available worldwide on Amazon, as both paperback and e-book! (And yes, for Dutch fans: the Dutch e-book version will be available in early February.)
Dear readers, you’ve already given this book such a warm reception. Would you help me by posting your lovely reviews on Amazon too? That would be amazing for the international launch!

Here you find the book on Amazon:

And the best news? I finally have time to write again – book three is on the way! ✨ Aiming for spring 2025! But more on that later…

"I am Tessa Smits, and I will take you on an adventurous journey to explore the unknown and the supposedly impossible. My second novel, ‘I Give Birth To The Universe’, is a prime example of this, where our infinite creative power takes center stage. For me, art is the means to make tangible what cannot be expressed in words. Whether I’m creating art, writing, or crafting something else, my intention remains the same: to seek out what truly touches us, what is real, and what reminds us as human beings of who we truly are—immeasurably powerful."
