Patrick Bernauw (The Lost Dutchman)

Patrick Bernauw is a writer of historical mysteries (faction, fiction and non-fiction) and supernatural stories. He is also a playwright, performer and producer of music theatre, mystery and city games. His work was translated in French, German, Spanish, Italian and Polish.

He isn't a Dutchman, really -- but he lives in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium: Flanders. And his first Hub was about The Lost Dutchman, hence the nickname.
