Jan Jacob Mekes was born in 1982 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in the body of an English-language writer. For three decades, he tried to suppress the stories, but it was to no avail: they gained the upper hand, and he gave in. So now he writes stories of various length spanning multiple genres, but always with a dash of humour. When not busy writing fiction, he works as a freelance writer and translator (from English into Dutch and vice versa), and as a volunteer for the local police force, writing about its history (after having acquired his BA in that). He also likes gaming, photography, nature, and cats. Oh, and reading, of course.

With the release of their third EP, “Ours, and Fairly Won” Undead Viking Mafia pays tribute, and lays waste, to every stage built south of the Mason Dixon Line, in a manner unlike any other band of gentlemen in the last 150 years.
