What genre(s) to you like to write? To read?
I mostly write fantasy and science fiction. My short stories are places where reality meets fantasy. I usually describe them as a mix between Black Mirror (the TV show) and fairy tales.
Why did you start writing?
I started writing when I was little. Stories I made up just for me. I quit when I was in high school because I was under the impression I wasn't good enough and that it would be too hard to earn any money with writing.
Years later I picked it up again and I fell in love (again). I aim to get better at the craft and see money as something that might happen but doesn't need to. One of the main triggers I have to write is subjects I'm interested in, things that go on in the world, human behavior. Ideas never end, fortunately. What do you do when you’re not writing?
I read a lot. Both fiction and non-fiction. I watch a lot of good TV shows and go to the movies. I'm addicted to stories.
However, I have to live my own story too. So I hang out with friends a lot, seek new experiences, travel etc. Next year I hope to travel for a couple of months and finish my novel in the process. Where do you like to go when looking for a new book to read?
At what point do you call it quits when reading a new book?
When I have to "make" myself read it or when my mind starts to wander too often.
Are you independently or traditionally published?

What’s the elevator pitch?
A long, long time ago, at the foot of the mountains of a remote island, Cartius saw colored lights coming from a cave. Guided by his curiosity, he finds seven glimmering gemstones. He returns to his shed with a carving from each and forges a magical ring. Overwhelmed by its power, he decides to create more rings so he can share his abilities for a better world.
We follow Cartius on an adventure throughout all continents in his quest to find fellow Ring Bearers. He finds different cultures and interesting companions on the way. Will he find the right people to build his magical community? Cartius’s first pupil, Sigurd, grows ever more envious of all the newcomers. Will he accept his fellow Ring Bearers or will he succumb to the trap that lies in having power? Envy brews and tensions rise until an ultimate fight. How long have you been working on it?
About 2 months in total I think.
When will it be available to buy? Where?
It's available now on Amazon.
How can readers find you?
What inspires you to keep writing?“Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open.”" “Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?” Anything you’d like to add?
I like to meet fellow writes and share experiences and tips, so if you want, reach out via one of the socials!
