I was born in a small town in the north of Sweden, where I also grew up. I used to walk to school and see spectacular displays of Northern Lights. To me they were there, as part of life. It is only now that I have realized how privileged I was and that many people travel to the north to see them. The darkest month of December, we lived in twilight from eight in the morning until two in the afternoon. It would then go dark again, the sun never rising above the horizon. In sharp contrast the summer months of June and July never got dark at all.The Midnight Sun would shine at two in the morning, sometimes all night, a sun which never set. Visitors from the south would find it hard to sleep during this time.

I came to England in my late teens and my first year was spent in Guildford, as an au-pair to a very nice family. I studied English at a college there. I intended to stay only for a year and here I am still!

Whilst living in Sweden as a teenager, I wrote poetry and stories and I even attempted a children’s book. The manuscript got lost during the years. I so wish I had it to read now. 

It was only later on in life that I found the time to write in earnest. I joined writing groups, made friends and learnt writing skills. I am active in two groups, whose members have been very helpful with their comments. I get enormous pleasure from writing and I hope that you will get the same pleasure reading my books. You are able to contact me on this site and you are welcome to leave any helpful comment.
