I was born in Copenhagen 1955 and graduated with a PhD in Nordic literature from University of Copenhagen 1993. Since 1990 I have written more than ten biographies. Mostly on famous Scandinavian authors like Hans Christian Andersen (2003), Astrid Lindgren (2014) and Tove Ditlevsen (1997 and 2022). I have also portrayed HRH Queen Margrethe II (2012) and her son HRH Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark (2017). I see the biography genre as a modern way of telling true stories about real people - alive or dead - within real historical framework with both a novelistic and academic touch.
