Hi there! My name is Kurt Frenier. In a couple of words I would describe myself as: husband, father, marketer, and writer. That's what my life is essentially about...

I was born Aries, in Belgium, on the 2nd of April 1969, year that man set foot on the moon. I am happily married and have two lovely daughters, Julia and Emilie. Since 2007, I live in Dubai, on assignment for my company, Pepsi-Cola (YEP - the one everyone knows), where I am regional Marketing Director.

Next to my marketing responsibilities for PepsiCo in Middle East and Africa, I write, write and write some more. It is not only a beautiful hobby and the ultimate escape for my daily work routine; it is the necessary valve for my creativity. And a true passion! Many ideas and stories just keep popping up in my head, day after day.

I started writing when I was 15 / 16 ... philosophy, poems, short novels, bits&pieces of texts and stories. For many years I wrote occasionally and then stopped, busy focusing on my career.

It was my first daughter Julia (before she was born!) that reignited my urge to pick up my writing again, beginning of 2006, when my wife was pregnant. As of then, I took away the barriers that I had build into my head, and just wrote away. It seemed I had and still have a lively imagination!!

When in 2007 a small publishing company in Holland (www.olgakinderboeken.nl) said they were interested in my work, I was in heaven. Since then, more and more, roles are turning around: I feel more of a writer first, then a manager/director. I write nearly every day, whether at home, in hotels, on planes, or wherever; whether books or blogs or the likes.

I LOVE IT > AND ... as such, I am living my dream!

I currently have a good 12 children's books written/finished, with 2 more in progress, and ideas for a good 20 more. And plans for screenplays for a movie, a couple of adult novels/dramas ... If only there were 48 hours in a day.

My first English YA book is out now (2010). It is called THE STUDYTRAIN, REUNION OF THE UNTOUCHABLES ( http://www.amazon.com/Study-Train-Reunion-Untouchables/dp/1609118847/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top). Take a good look around my website to find out more: http://kurtfrenier.webs.com/
