I was born in Uppsala 8 April 1970, but grew up in Linköping, a medium sized city in the southern part of Sweden.
After graduation at Katedralskolan in Linköping, I studied a wide range of subjects at Linköping University and Lund University: religion, philosophy and law (1991-1994).
I went to filmschool in Stockholm (1994-1996), and after that I studied at Stockholm University, the Department of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMK) (1996-2000). I have a Bachelor's degree with a major in Media & Communication Studies, and a Master's degree in Journalism.
I worked as a news reporter covering domestic news at TV4 in Stockholm (2000-2001). After that I worked for nine years as a news reporter at Sveriges Television, the Swedish Public Broadcaster and the major TV company in Sweden (2002-2010).
In June 2010 I quit my job, due to the international success of Strindberg´s star, and since then I've been working full time as an author.
I don't really have time for any specific interests right now, besides writing, because most of my spare time goes to taking care of three fairly wild children.
