What inspired you to start writing?

Ever since I started writing short stories and essays at school as a kid, that's when I found out I had a real talent for it.
The he first book I ever remember reading is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling.

Who are some of your favorite authors and books?

Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile

JK Rowling - Harry Potter series, Strike-series

Stieg Larsson - Millenium Trilogy

Anything by Dan Brown - he’s my guilty pleasure

What would you like to tell readers who have just discovered your books, but haven't read one yet?

You'll love my books if you like crime fiction or mysteries.

Who is the favorite character you created, and how did they come into being?

Probably Kurt Hammer - I seem to remember that he came into being as an amalgamation of many different characters and ideas, first and foremost Jeff Bridges as The Dude

What are your future plans as a writer?

Branching into different genres and stories. Right now I'm working on a cyberpunk-novel, and a Dan Brown-esque thriller.
