Wouter F. Nunnink was born in Indonesia in 1941. He barely survived internment by the Japanese occupiers during World War II.
After completing his secondary education in The Netherlands, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1960, at the age of nineteen, and established residence in Vermont.
A graduate of the University of Vermont, he completed his MAT in 1973.
During his 31 years teaching and coaching, the urge came to start writing short stories. He shared these with his middle- and high-school-age students.
After retiring from a second career at IBM, Wouter is taking on writing as his next challenge in life. With experiences gained from living in different cultures, ranging from life as a Dutchman in Indonesia to living in The Netherlands as an Asian, and visiting numerous countries while traveling from Indonesia to Holland and back, he provides a unique flavor to his stories.
The author and his wife continue to live and work in Vermont while their three children and two grandchildren live scattered across the U.S.
