When an ancient Gate transports his son, Daniel, to another world, Denida follows, thinking it will be an easy matter to bring his son home safely.

At home, his wife and friends send a robot to follow Denida’s tracks but treachery undermines their efforts.

Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to Grasp?
My first novel is just telling a great tale. It
is, however, the first of four novels, which might have a deeper meaning if you
look closely enough.
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Remembering everything I've established
throughout the book can be tricky when the novel gets between 90-120.000
words.
How many books have you written and which is your favorite?
I have written 4 novels, but have only
published 3 of them, so far, including this one.
If You had the chance to cast your main character from
The
main character's age fluctuates from young adult to middle-aged throughout my
series, so I always thought animation would work best, but de-aging technology
exists in movies now, so maybe I should start putting consideration into which
actors would portray my characters the best!
When did you begin writing?
I
always tried writing my book, but really got serious in 2017 after I recovered
from an incident that left me paralyzed on the right side from face to toe.
How long did it take to complete your first book?
My
first book took 6 months to write, but an additional 8 months to self-edit and
edit with an editor. My book took a particularly long time to
complete, as I'm Danish by birth and English is my second language, so I needed
to clean up my grammar and add more variance to my vocabulary.
Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer?
Not
just one, but several authors with different styles and genres inspired me. I
took a lot of inspiration from Diana Wynne Jones, though.
What is your favorite part of the writing process?
I
love when the story I write exceeds the idea I had envisioned in my
mind, turning out better than expected. I find it rewarding.
Describe your latest book in 4 words.
Divine retribution and destiny.
Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is in the
future for your writing?
I'll be releasing my fourth and final book in the Underworlds series
next.
About the Author
As a Christmas Child, I believe magic is everywhere, especially during the winter, and I try to weave that magic into my stories. After all, my firm belief in karma and destiny has shaped who I am, so it should guide my stories, as well.
I was born and raised in Denmark, but faced many challenges during my life, one of which was my inability to write my stories in Danish! I've had my stories brewing in my head since I was a child and struggled for years to express them properly. After recovering from a diabetic attack that left me hospitalized, I managed to find my writer's voice in English, and am thrilled to now have the ability to share my tales with you.
