Surely falling in love is a wonderful thing? Imagine being able to experience that feeling over and over again, even though you are married and have three children. That's why I write romance.

That it was in the romance genre I ended up is not so strange since I love reading about happy endings. Everything from mother's Harlequin books, via Maria Lang and Maria Gripe, to Jane Austen, Rosamunde Pilcher and more contemporary Simona Ahrnstedt.

Since my family and I moved from Stockholm to Hälsingland, I feel that this is where I belong. In the forest, among the mountains and near the sea. Here I have everything I need to create my characters. No wonder I choose to place most of my stories into this wonderful county.

Of what I've published before, the majority are in the fantasy genre, but all the short stories are romance. Right now it is contemporary romance I am passionate about and I am focusing on Hälsingeromance that takes place in smaller cities and with everything living in a smaller place can bring.

I write about what I think the genre lacked when I was younger: Strong, intelligent women and a more interesting male role. Smart girls who are not afraid to take action when needed, whether it be fixing a flat tire or saving someone from a herd of chickens.
