Apart from a double MA in communication and history doing museum interpretation, historical quizzes, city walks, talks, workshops etc, I have been a journalist for a number of years and editor of a regional newspaper, doing news, culture and quite a few reviews of books and exhibitions.

“Freya Anduin is an author known for her contributions to historical fiction and cosy crime novels. Her works often blend real historical events and figures with fictional narratives, creating engaging and entertaining stories.

One of her notable series is the “Lendorph & la Cour” series – first book ‘Into Their Stride’ is now available in English as will be the whole series. These books feature characters like journalist Anna Lendorph and detective Christian la Cour, who team up to solve various crimes set in early 20th-century Copenhagen. The series is appreciated for its historical accuracy and the way it brings to life the era’s criminal underworld​.”

I write my own stories – I have a thing about rhythm and text ‘tasting’ right, which is a lot easier to do your selv.  So I do my own translations. I do write in English as well, but this book did start out in a Danish version. I have changed little but some things are adapted to an audience with a different frame of reference. I use British English as base and the Oxford comma, but there might be inconsistencies as I read a lot of books and watch tv from all over the world and my language is probably influenced by Aussie and Kiwi phrases as well. I’m not sorry about that. In this particular story, it being 1913, I have taken care to use the vocabulary of the time.
