Sigbjørn Mostue is a norwegian editor and author of children's books. His literary debut was in 2005, when the first book in the trilogy of Alvetegnet (which would be something like "The Sign of the Elves" in English) was published. The two following books in the series came in 2006 and 2007. These books are written in some sort of magical realism, where the story take place both in the "real world" and a parallel, fairytale-like world on "the other side", populated by magical creatures. Many of these figures can also be found in norwegian folklore.

His books are popular among norwegian children and teenagers, but have not yet been translated to English. In 2006, the movie rights of Alvetegnet were sold to SF Norway.

Sigbjørn Mostue er utdanna cand.philol med hovudfag i idéhistorie. Han jobbar no som redaktør i De norske Bokklubbene. Han debuterte i 2005 med Gravbøygen våkner, den første boka i trilogien Alvetegnet, ein fantasyserie for barn i 10-14-årsalderen. Trilogien er ein slags eventyrlig realisme, der handlinga foregår både i vår eiga verd og ei parallell verkelegheit, ei magisk eventyrverd. Mostue hentar inspirasjon frå gammal, norsk folketru i bøkene sine, og førestillingane om det overnaturlege som ein finn i Alvetegnet kan ein også finne att i ulike eventyr og sagn rundt om i landet, kjente som mindre kjente. Naturvern er eit underliggande tema i trilogien. Det er menneska sine øydeleggingar av miljøet som får dei skjulte kreftene i naturen til å røre på seg.

Bøkene er populære blant barn og ungdom. Han er vinnar av Arks barnebokpris 2005 for Gravbøygen våkner - stemt fram av barna sjølv, og nominert til Brageprisen med "Nissedreperen" i 2006. Bøkene er også seld til Polen. Filmrettane til heile trilogien blei i 2006 kjøpt opp av SF Norge.

Sigbjørn Mostue bur på Jessheim med sambuar og to barn. Han er nestleiar i Ullensaker Venstre (2009), med særleg engasjement innan miljø, kultur og skole. Hans største lidenskap skal visstnok vere fluefiske.
