About me

I am 38 years old, live in Copenhagen and work part time as a writer, part time as a psychologist. As you can imagine, the psycho-part is hard to get rid of and shows itself as a special interest in the inner lives of my characters. I do my best to portray some of the complexity of life and often seem to be writing about people who struggle to find their place in the world and relate to others around them. As Sartre put it, hell is other people – sometimes, anyway.

So far, I have written two poetry collections, my debut novel AGATHE, a non fiction book about schizophrenia and the YA-novel WHAT NO ONE KNOWS. This September my new novel BLUE NOTES will be released in Denmark by my publisher Lindhardt & Ringhof. The main theme is grief, and as always there is lots of psychology, difficult relationships and an existential question or two to be answered.

If you want to get to know me better and hear more about my thoughts on Agathe (or Agatha, as the book is called in the UK) see this Q&A that I did with Mark Reynolds from Bookanista.
