Growing up in Norway, the stories of the North were always in my blood, tales of fire, steel, and the fierce people who survived the frost. Today, my life looks a little different, but the spirit of the wilderness is still right outside my door.

I live on a rural farm in Flathead, Montana, with my husband, 7 chickens, and 3 dogs. Most mornings, you can find me looking out my window at the bison and bighorn sheep that roam the mountainsides around here. Nature helps my creativity and I'm grateful we moved to this beautiful state.

Taken by the Northmen is my first novel, and I’ll let you in on a secret: even I blushed a little while writing it. And my husband is NOT allowed to read it. There were definitely moments when I needed some "alone time" just to process the heat between Sigrid and her savages!

I need your help. As a debut author, your input matters more than you know. Please consider leaving a review. Let me know what you loved (or didn't)—and tell me honestly: did it make you blush as much as it did me? Your feedback helps me decide if I should keep writing the next book in this series… or if I should hang up my keyboard and go back to raising my chickens.

Thank you for taking this journey into the North with me.
