I’m a writer from Sweden, and a teacher, who has always found my home in stories.
By day, I teach 13-, 14-, and 15-year-olds—English, history, religion, geography, and social science. By night, I write fantasy shaped by myth, emotion, and the quiet damage of survival. Teaching has given me a deep respect for perspective, empathy, and the way stories shape how we understand the world. Writing is where I take those same questions—about power, identity, and choice—and explore them without restraint.
My debut series, Forged in Flame and Fury, is an adult epic fantasy inspired by Nordic folklore and my Sccandinavian world. It blends mythic forces with deeply personal struggles and is forged from lived experience—emotional manipulation, complicated families, and the quiet rebellions that shape us. The magic is fictional. The feelings are not.
Outside of writing and teaching, I spend my time reading mostly fantasy (but anything, really), listening to music that inevitably finds its way into scenes and character arcs, and watching films and series that balance emotional weight with sharp storytelling. I love stories that linger—whether they unfold in books, games, or on screen—and I’m especially drawn to narratives with flawed characters, moral tension, and meaningful consequences.
I live in Sweden with my family, where long winters, changing seasons, and quiet evenings leave plenty of space for imagination.
If my stories speak to you, I hope you’ll stay a while.
