Interview With Author Christoffer Vuolo Junros
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Christoffer Vuolo Junros (1989), I was born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden’s second largest city. As I write this I live in Stockholm with my wonderful wife Joanna, she’s an amazing person who captured my heart with love. I consider myself a sci-fi nerd who enjoys writing, exploring cutting-edge technology, and immersing myself in a story, developing my characters based on their unique characteristics.
I work hard to achieve my goals and always have at least one project on going. One of my main interests in life is futuristic technology, thus I strive to be a pioneer or at least an early adopter of interesting technologies that comes my way, “technology” for me is a tool for us to make our lives easier, act as an extended arm with the aim of simplifying tasks and giving us new skills.
Beside writing I own and operate a small clothing company in addition to my day job as an engineer. As a senior design engineer, I’ve worked for companies such as Volvo, Scania, SAAB, and Husqvarna
