Award winning Danish author. Born in 1968, I started out as a cartoonist in the early nineties, writing and drawing cartoons for several magazines in Copenhagen. In 1995, I debuted as an author with two novels, one of them later filmed, and went on to publish books in different genres, always aiming to do things a little different. I live in Copenhagen, Denmark, with my wife and two kids. I have had several works translated and published in foreign languages. My books have been filmed and made into radio plays. I have published about twenty books, counting novels, cartoons, collections of short stories and nonfiction.
