Jag har skapat karaktärer, varelser och världar sedan jag var liten, oftast med en lite mörkare ton. Föredrar all typ av fiction med influenser av övernaturligt eller skräck.

Just nu (Maj 2025) så sitter jag med det slutgiltiga arbetet av del två i Ikonaserien, som fått namnet "Spegelhavet", och siktar också på att novellsamlingen "Sagor för Imia" blir utgiven före årskiftet.
