<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s get things started with telling our readers who you are and what you write.<\/font><\/strong><\/h5>\nI\u2019m a 44 year old Swedish ex-policeman and ex-director of security with a passion for film and literature. I live with my family in southern Sweden but we love to travel and right now we are spending a couple of months in NYC. I write fast paced crime-fiction with lots of twists and turns in the genre called Scandi-Crime or sometimes Nordic Noir.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How do you find time to write while holding substantial positions like Director of Security and being an International Security Consultant?<\/font><\/strong><\/h5>\nI wrote my first trilogy (Game, Buzz and Bubble) while working as a Director of Security for Europe, Middle East and Africa where I used some of my extensive travel time for writing. My first books were, to a large degree, written in lounges, on flights, and in hotel rooms. But as things progressed, I also had to sacrifice a lot of family time (and sleep), and I found the combination increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n
In 2012, I quit my job in order to focus on the writing, and I\u2019ve scaled down the consultancy to only a few select clients. It was a hard decision giving up an interesting job with lots of benefits for an uncertain career as a writer, but I haven\u2019t regretted it, not even for a second.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What kind of research did you have to undertake to complete\u00a0MemoRandom<\/em>?<\/font><\/strong><\/h5>\nI got the original idea with the main character\u2019s memory loss from my dad, who unfortunately was struck by something called a TGA a couple of years ago. A TGA means that the brain temporarily loses power, a bit like when you switch off a computer with the power button. When you then restart it, it takes a while for all the programs to catch up and the same goes for the brain. The memories aren\u2019t gone, but the brain loses the search-path that leads to them. My father initially lost a whole year, then a month, then a week and still today there is one day missing in his life. A day where he had been fully conscious, met and talked with people. The methods he used to backtrack himself and open up his hidden memories, along with his frustration of having people telling him what he did and said when he himself didn\u2019t remember, inspired me to create the basics of the plot.<\/p>\n
MemoRandom<\/em> is a story about David Sarac, a policeman who loses about a year of his life due to a stroke and is forced to investigate himself to find out what he was working with, especially the true identity of his top secret Confidential Informant code-named Janus. But the deeper Sarac digs into the Janus-operation the less he likes what he finds.<\/p>\nI did quite a lot of research on the brain and how memories work, but I also had a lot of help from a friend who is a professional mentalist. He does shows where he manages to influence people into making the choices he wants them to, and a lot of the techniques are similar to the ones used by police-officers in recruiting and handling Confidential Informants. It is all about influencing people to make the choices you want them to, and poor Sarac, who once was a master at this trade, is now finding himself at the other end of the stick.<\/p>\n
And as things progress, he\u2019s also in mortal danger.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do your career choices improve or inspire your plots?<\/font><\/strong><\/h5>\nThey certainly help, that is for sure. After working 20 years dealing with problems ranging from internal thefts to international terrorism, I\u2019ve built up quite a bank of incidents, characters and locations.<\/p>\n
I try to draw on my experience in order to make certain aspects of the stories feel realistic. I also have a vast network of contacts to ask if I need to.<\/p>\n
But in all fairness, my greatest tool when writing is my imagination \u2013 that\u2019s been developed by reading thousands of \u00a0books. My mother is a librarian, and I was more or less raised in a library, so I\u2019ve learned the trade by watching others. This is by far my greatest asset as a writer, and I\u2019m very grateful to public libraries. Without them I wouldn\u2019t have become a writer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you have any writing superstitions or habits?<\/font><\/strong><\/h5>\nHaha, no superstitions (that I know of.) That is actually the first time I\u2019ve gotten that question, so I\u2019ve thought long and hard about it.<\/p>\n
I used to write a lot while traveling, but nowadays I have a small and very cozy office with comfortable vintage furniture (my wife calls it my man-cave). Besides my laptop, desk and chair, the Nespresso machine is my favorite work-tool (it takes about 200 or so cups of espresso to write a book).<\/p>\n
I\u2019m normally in my office between 10 AM and 4.30PM<\/span> Monday to Friday, and I try to write a minimum of 5 book pages every day. Some days that is hard, others it\u2019s very easy.<\/p>\nDuring that time I also try to stay away from distractions like my phone or social media.\u00a0Some days that is also very hard\u2026 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nCharacter inspiration! Tell us about your protagonist. Are any of your characters based on real life people?<\/font><\/strong><\/h5>\nI try to collect personal traits, language, tics and gimmicks rather than complete personalities, so my characters are normally a mix of several different people I\u2019ve met plus a good portion of my imagination. I do, however, get emails, mainly from old colleagues in the police, claiming to know exactly who some of the characters are based on. \ud83d\ude42
\nDavid Sarac is one of those cops who lives for his job. He has no close family and no hobbies, his job means everything to him and defines who he is.<\/p>\n
That type of person is quite common within law-enforcement and I have several friends and acquaintances who are like that. Natalie Aden is very street smart. She is very quick to pick up on other people\u2019s weaknesses and use them to her advantage. I\u2019ve met people like her too, and even arrested a couple. The difference is that Natalie actually has a heart and does not prey on people that are weaker than her.<\/p>\n
In my books you will find very few people that are 100% good or 100% bad, mainly because people aren\u2019t really like that. Good people do bad things all the time and vice versa; that\u2019s how life works.\u00a0That is one of the things I admire about George RR Martin, when one of the characters in Game of Thrones<\/em> gets too good or too bad, he kills them off since they become too predictable. The really interesting characters to follow are those who have both good and bad sides. I suspect those kind of characters also are a bit easier for the readers\/viewers to identify with. And they\u2019re certainly a lot more fun to write about\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
What was your favorite chapter (or part) of this novel to write and why?<\/font><\/strong><\/h5>\nI really like Natalie\u2019s initial scene, where she executes what appears to be a very clever micro-kidnapping. (In case you don\u2019t know, micro kidnappings are when you hold a victim ransom for only a few hours and claim ransom amounts small enough to be covered by the credit cards of the victim\u2019s family. This way the kidnappers get their money fast, avoiding many of the risk elements connected with kidnappings.) Micro kidnappings are not uncommon in South America, but Natalie takes everything to a whole new level.<\/p>\n
I really like Natalie; she\u2019s one of my favorite characters, even though she is a fraudster and a thief.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What\u2019s next? Any future projects you\u2019d like to share with readers?<\/font><\/strong><\/h5>\nI\u2019ve just released the second book in the MemoRandom<\/em> series back in Sweden. The book is titled \u201dUltiMatum\u201d and picks up about 6 months after the dramatic ending of MemoRandom.<\/em><\/p>\nUltiMatum <\/em>was just awarded \u201cBest Swedish Crime Fiction 2015\u201d by the Swedish crime-writers academy. This is the most prestigious award for a crime-writer in Sweden, and I\u2019m of course very proud of it. UltiMatum<\/em> will be out in the US next fall.<\/p>\nRight now I\u2019m writing something completely different, a stand-alone book located in the countryside in southern Sweden, where I\u2019m originally from. It\u2019s about a little boy mysteriously going missing in 1980, causing his family to fall apart and change the small community forever. 20 years later<\/span> a young man shows up, and starts raising a lot of questions into the case and what really happened.<\/p>\nI get to write both about the time and the place where I grew up, and it\u2019s great fun (if you can say that about a murder story\u2026) The book will be called \u201cEnd of Summer\u201d and will be out in Sweden in the Fall of 2016, so I\u2019m not too far away from completing the first draft.<\/p>\n
