Author of Echoes of the Red Earth

About the Author


When Cornelius van Dijk’s mother told him she wanted him to get an education after high school, he told her that he was going to go to the “school of life.” True to his word, he has worked at a variety of jobs, including dairy herdsman, journeyman welder, power engineer, and water and wastewater technician. 

The product of five years of work, Echoes of the Red Earth is Cornelius’s first work of fiction, which he hopes to use as a foundation for a series. He and his wife, Rebecca, live in Lacombe, Alberta.

About the Book


​Dive into a captivating realm of speculative wonders with this bold and imaginative collection of post-apocalyptic tales. Within these pages, you’ll encounter extraordinary individuals who dare to seek a life beyond the confines of their small world, defying conventions and pushing boundaries. Venture forth with them as they journey beyond the horizon in search of the elusive source of ice, scale an enigmatic mountain to uncover its secrets, master the art of horsemanship, or strive to escape the wrath of a relentless apocalypse of disease and fire. 

But these stories are not only about physical journeys. Each story pushes the boundaries of the characters’ world while also defying readers’ expectations in regard to gender, identity, and sexuality. As philosophical as they are inventive, Echoes of the Red Earth will challenge readers to reconsider their own world, pushing them to view the things they take for granted in an entirely new light.
