MYSELF

In short; I’m an avid gamer, avid watcher of movies and TV-shows, and a far less avid reader than I would like to be. (But I’m getting there). I’ve been using my imagination as a tool for as long as I can remember, working regularly with movies, music and writing. I’ve almost been married, written 104 songs and directed a full-length film. I grew up with cats, then I had none and now I have one. I’ve sung in a choir, traveled a little and stayed home a lot.

I was born in ’86, so some people will probably claim I’m too young to know anything about anything, but I’ll wager I know at least a few things about something. I guess this is the place to write that I didn’t choose writing; it chose me, but that would be a load of crap. Like I mentioned, I’ve been doing creative work my entire life, taping radio-shows on my Disney-cassettes as a kid and making rap-songs on my Casio keyboard. Later, I started playing synthesizer in a band, before moving on to the piano. It was roughly at this time I started making movies; scripting, directing and starring. (This is starting to read like the biography of a porn-star isn’t it?) It wasn’t until 2008 I started writing properly, but it was the thing that stuck. I still make tons of music (some of it will probably be linked to here, sooner or later), and I still have a few friends I script with – but writing is the most manageable, most creative and by far the most fun way to express oneself.

MY WORK

I used to spend both nights and days drawing maps of cities, forests and mountains. (All of them cursed, mystical or magical, of course). After a while, I realized the amount of detail I put into the world was too much for a simple role playing game, so in 2008, I gathered all of my documents, books and drawings, and began work on The Fall of Noman series. To create a coherent narrative out of my work had always been a dream of mine, and with the completion of “Awakenings” in 2011, I was suddenly one step closer. The book is out now, and available through my Amazon page linked below!
I've also begun writing the second book in the series; “Frostbites”. Book three, “A Hole in The World” and book four have also been mapped out.

I have a busy future ahead of me…
