Mirjam Dikken

Mirjam Dikken was born and raised in The Netherlands. She has worked around the world as a chemical engineer, recruiter, and HR manager, and lived in New Delhi, India, and Edmonton, Canada. As she and her family love living below sea level, they now settled in the Hoeksche Waard, an inland island in The Netherlands, where Mirjam wanders around in the darker places of her imagination. In June 2024, her thriller ‘Hekate’s Daughter’ was published by Stonehouse Publishing. Several of her short stories have appeared in anthologies and on the beer cans of her favourite coffee stout.

Mirjam is a member of Sisters in Crime, currently serving as the Treasurer for the Canada-West chapter. She’s also a member of Crime Writers Canada and International Thriller Writers. Ideas from her work as a freelance HR Manager and a career coach for expats tend to sneak into her writing. She prefers to count her rescue cats as two plus two, because people start to raise their eyebrows at housing four cats.
