Born and raised in Sweden. I have since spent 20 years in the US, Canada and the UK. I love animals (therefore a fable story) and have been horseback riding since I was a child. Apart from a fairly un-rock n' roll full-time office job, I also volunteer as a support rider at Her Majesty The Queen's Royal Lifeguard stables. Riding in Hyde Park at the crack of dawn (while most people are still asleep) is pretty incredible! I have ants in my pants! Cannot sit still and enjoy being outdoors. I like travelling but don't do relaxing beach holidays. I got bored and tired the last time and ended up learning a new sport, which I'm now obsessed with (golf). I'm addicted to working out, which comes in handy as I enjoy my food and fine wines. I read tons of books but do not watch TV (the latter REALLY stresses me out). I have dedicated this book to my lovely nephew Ebbe, ahead of his birthday. Please don't ever grow up - conversations with you are so much more fun than those with grown up's!
