Frida Skybäck

I hela sitt liv har Frida drömt om att bli författare och redan i tidig ålder var det roligaste hon visste att skriva berättelser som sedan lästes upp för vänner och familj.

2007 började Frida blogga om sin resa i samband med att hon skickade in sitt första deckarmanus till en handfull utvalda förlag. Flera av dem visade intresse för det hon hade skrivit och Frida fortsatte att producera polisromaner.

2010 beslöt Frida, efter att ha sjukskrivits för utmattningssyndrom, att göra ett sista försök att bli utgiven genom att prova en ny genre. Detta visade sig vara ett lyckokast och i oktober 2011 debuterade hon med den historiska kärleksromanen Charlotte Hassel.
