Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a writer based in Oslo, Norway. I have worked as a dental surgeon for eight years and took a brief hiatus from my profession to pursue a career in writing.
A career in clinical dentistry and research provided an outlet for writing research papers, training and policy manual, articles and newsletters, but never fulfilled my desire to write a novel.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Secret of His Turquoise Eyes
I was a long time fiction and science reader and so I have knitted a fictional world which interlinks my susceptible thoughts to my scientific knowledge and approach. The Secret of His Turquoise Eyes is my first novel.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, I wake up in the middle of night to note down thoughts and ideas related to my stories. But I think this trait is common to all the writers.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I always loved Sidney Sheldon and I used to read all his novels during my teen years. I think that had developed in me a passion for reading thrillers.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the second book in the Mindblood Series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think it always has to be a combination, but nothing can beat the word of mouth promotion, which can only be achieved by a great book.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
It just takes a beginning….
