Lene Kaaberbøl
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).

Jeg er uddannet historiker og har elsket krimier siden jeg lærte at læse.
Buy books on Amazon
Min yndlings krimigenre er uden tvivl hyggekrimien. Jeg kan godt lide, at den, ligesom den klassiske krimi, fokuserer på opklaringen og miljøet (og så duer jeg bare ikke til grufulde detaljer).
Derfor var det helt oplagt at kombinere mine to store kærligheder: historien og hyggekrimien.
Når jeg ikke skriver, læser jeg. Jeg er en kæmpe læsehest og selv som barn, havde jeg altid to tasker med på ferie; en til tøj/ting og den vigtige med bøgerne i. Min mor plejede at sætte begrænsninger for, hvor mange bøger jeg måtte tage med, for hvor meget regnede jeg lige med at læse... men jeg løb altid tør halvvejs og har derfor læst utallige mærkelige sommerhus- og bogskabsbøger fun -
