About me

I am 36 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 and a non fiction book about schizophrenia. And finally, my first YA-novel WHAT NO ONE KNOWS was recently published by Denmark’s biggest publishing house, Gyldendal. The book is called ‘moving, thought-provoking and eye opening’ by the Danish site for librarians, Litteratursiden, and among other things touches upon extremely difficult sexuality, bullying and the power of friendship.

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.
