Here are a few things you wouldn't normally know about me:

1. I don't like writing fight scenes in a novel. I find them difficult, but neccessary and very hard to choreograph.

2. The idea I originally have is sometimes totally different by the end of a story.

3. The first draft is always exciting, but I hate second/third/fourth/fifth - re-drafting/editing and proofreading.

4. When I'm coming to the end of a book, I'm already thinking about the next, and the next.

5. I act out certain expressions of a character. It can be embarrassing; especially in coffee shops & libraries.

6. I always sign my books with a Fisher Space Pen (or bullet pen). Have done since the beginning.

7. I work with a laptop and also pen and paper to write my stuff. I hate typing up from a paper note pad though.

8. I've used character names from medicine bottles, kitchen appliances and unusual furniture names, in a swedish store.

9. I've never collaborated with another writer on a project, but that will be changing soon.

10. Finally, I never saw myself standing in front of an audience. I was too scared as a kid. I was always the one hidden in the background in school plays. But now I run presentations in front of hundreds of children in assembly halls, classrooms, libraries and festivals.

There you go, did you know that?
