I was born and grew up in Sweden, but have been a resident of British Columbia, Canada since the early 1990s. Currently, I'm located just outside Vancouver with my family - a husband, two kids, and a very large dog. I've had several books published in Sweden, including three collections of poetry, a novel, and a collection of science fiction short stories. I'm currently working on a science-fiction novel, and my first Smashword's book "Odin's Eye" (a collection of science fiction short stories) was published on March 16, 2015. Fantasy, historical fiction and science fiction are my favourite literary genres, but I have always been a voracious reader. My favourite writers include Ursula K Le Guin, Ray Bradbury, T.S. Eliot, George R.R. Martin, J.R.R. Tolkien, George Orwell, Hemingway, John LeCarre, Umberto Eco, and Colleen McCullough (especially her Masters of Rome-books).
