==Biography==
Bakker is a gardener by trade, having acquired his gardening license in 2006.〔 He says writing and gardening are compatible. Bakker works as a skating instructor in winters.〔 He commented "in the autumn when I rake the dead leaves I can do it for hours – once I even disturbed a pile I'd made so I could go on raking. The sound is so wonderful: it lets you think in a subconscious way, in the back of your mind.〔
He has previously as a subtitler for Dutch TV, particularly on the U.S. soap opera ''The Bold and the Beautiful''. Bakker has said: "They blabber and blabber, but you only have seven seconds for a subtitle on screen. That's what ''The Bold and the Beautiful'' taught me. I learned to leave things out." Among his favourite books are ''The Sea, the Sea'', ''The Beautiful Room Is Empty'', ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' and ''The Wind in the Willows''. He dislikes flying.
He is renovating a house in Germany, complete with garden, writing cabin and veranda.〔
