Kenneth Bøgh Andersen

I was born in Denmark on a dark and stormy night in November 1976. I began writing when I was a teenager. My first book was a really awful horror novel titled Nidhug's Slaves. It didn't get published. Luckily.

During the next 7 years, I wrote nearly 20 novels-all of which were rejected-while working as a school teacher. The rest of the time I spent writing.

In 2000 I published my debut fantasy book, The Battle of Caïssa, and that's when things really took off. Since then I've published more than thirty-five books for children and young adults in genres ranging from fantasy to horror and science fiction.

My books have been translated into more than 15 languages and my series about the superhero Antboy has been adapted for film, which is avail

Sarah Engell

Sarah Engell er født og opvokset i Tårnby, hvor barndommen gik med at læse og skrive. Allerede i børnehaven var hun optaget af at tegne og skrive små bøger, og i folkeskolen lavede og udgav hun sammen med en veninde et hjemmelavet magasin. Og så skrev hun selvfølgelig dagbog. ”Jeg skrev dagbog og fyldte tonsvis af notesbøger med historier om alt fra voldelige havmåger til dødsangst og svimlende ungdomsforelskelser. Jeg tror, det var min måde at forsøge at forstå verden og mig selv på. Det er det nok i virkeligheden stadig.” (Maria Roslev: Interview Forfatterweb, april 2015).

Drømmen om at blive forfatter har derfor på en måde altid ligget i Engell, men den blev først rigtig bevidstgjort, da hun som 15-årig kom på efterskole og af sin dansklæ

Min hemmelighed
Jeg er født i 1985 og startede med at skrive som 13-årig. En dag satte jeg mig bare ned ved computeren og begyndte at skrive på den historie, der havde vokset i mine tanker den sidste lange tid. Jeg skrev hver dag efter skole og bogen blev længere og længere.

Jeg fortalte ikke nogen, at jeg skrev. Det var en hemmelighed det første lange stykke tid. Nok især fordi jeg på det tidspunkt ikke var særlig god i skolen. Jeg var en af dem, der havde mindst 10 fejl i diktat og tit også 20 eller 30 fejl. Men jo mere jeg skrev, jo bedre blev jeg også i skolen, og da jeg startede i 9. klasse var jeg blandt de dygtige elever og havde også en færdig bog på computeren.

Min allerførste bog

Jeg kom til verden på Rigshospitalet i København d. 24.3.1960. Overlægen var i kjole og hvidt - han var blevet afbrudt midt i en gallamiddag - men min søster siger, at det er da ikke noget, hendes fødselslæge var i islandsk nationaldragt. Nogen vil mene at det således allerede fra starten var klart at jeg var et ganske særligt barn. Andre vil sikkert påstå at min mor bare var god til at skabe pludselige gynækologiske kriser.

Jeg blev altså født i København, men det må nok betragtes som en fejl, for min forældre er jyske, min opvækst foregik i Jylland (mestendels i Malling ved Århus), og jeg betragter mig i dag som eksil-jyde på Frederiksberg, på det mine jyske venner omtaler som Djævleøen (Sjælland).
