A Message From Our Ancient Ancestors
Naran Stalwart is a young, introverted scientist who lives by logic and breathes facts. Imagine her surprise when she’s invited by a mysterious and secretive civilisation, called the Didelians, to be initiated into their ancient knowledge.
The Didelians surfaced after the Second World War. Nobody knows who they are or where they came from, but one thing is clear: they are not like other humans.
As a rational scientist, Naran is a skeptic of the supernatural. However, when she learns why she was chosen by the Didelians, Naran feels a deep conviction to accept her apprenticeship. Once she does, the young scientist enters an unpredictable and exhilarating existence beyond the realm of human possibilities. Naran’s rational plans and her perception of who she thought she was are thrown into a tailspin. While Naran struggles to understand if she’s losing or actually finding herself, she discovers that the history of humanity isn’t what she thought it was, and that the stakes of completing her training are much higher than she could have imagined.
Will Naran bring back ancient knowledge, when the one thing she isn’t allowed to do, fall in love with her mentor, feels unavoidable?
The book series "Godyssey" is a modern grail quest that explores the roots of humankind. The books are filled with messages from the Antediluvian world that have survived throughout Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Medieval times and that are destined to resurface today.

Storytelling is one of the oldest human traditions, rooted in gathering around the fire, where tales of adventure, wisdom, and the human experience were shared to foster connection and pass down knowledge. This ancient art, once a vital part of community life, has faded into the background in our modern world. I work to reintroduce this powerful practice, reviving the tradition of storytelling as a means to connect, heal, and offer timeless wisdom in a way that speaks to the hearts of today’s audience.
I regularly perform my short stories at events, retreats, and conferences, offering an engaging and immersive experience. Whether it's through thought-provoking themes, emotional depth, or light-hearted humor, I tailor my storytelling to resonate with diverse groups.
If you're looking for a unique way to captivate your audience and spark meaningful conversations, I would be delighted to collaborate and bring my stories to your event.

About Me
Hi, I'm Lianne. I am an author, multilingual storyteller, and educator with a deep passion for exploring ancient wisdom.
I studied French literature at the Sorbonne IV in Paris, creative writing at Boston College, and political science at the University of Amsterdam.
In 2012, I dedicated myself to crafting my bookseries GODYSSEY. I gave up my marketing position in Silicon Valley and moved into a self-built campervan. I desired to visit the locations where the book would take place in the USA and Europe. This amazing journey gave me the time to study ancient mystery teachings. I delved into Kabbalah, The Knights Templar, Ancient Greek and Hebrew, the Quadrivium, Egyptian mysteries, Norse mythology, and plant medicine. Topics I'm wilfully weaving into GODYSSEY.
My interest in storytelling and regenerative leadership has led me to participate in several transformative communities worldwide. In October, I’ll be talking about my Healing Fiction series at the RegenerateX Conference in Ibiza, sharing my vision with a community of future leaders.
Beyond my creative work, I developed a well-regarded language teaching method in the Netherlands and have helped a tech startup thrive through targeted marketing content.
I currently help clients with writing their personal mythology. Together, we transform their unique life stories into captivating fairytales or myths, guiding them on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Whether I’m writing fiction or crafting impactful copy, my work focuses on using language and narrative to inspire new ways of thinking.
