About me

I am 42 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, published in 30 territories world wide, a non fiction book about schizophrenia and the YA-novel WHAT NO ONE KNOWS.
The novel BLUE NOTES was released in Denmark in the fall of 2021. It has since been published in more than ten other contries, and the film rights have been sold to Les Outsiders Films in Canada. 
My latest novel, THE AQUARIUM, deals with friendship at a point in life where some start a family and others don’t. Ever since it came out I have been working on the next novel, and OPEN SENTENCE, centering around the difficult relationship between a woman and her aging mother, will be released in March 2026. I can’t wait!
