Hi. I just finished Scent of Magic. I am really enjoying the books, I was wondering where you found the inspiration to name the northern tribes Sokna and Jevnaker? I am Norwegian, and I have one sister, Ragnhild, living in Sokna and another sister, Heidi, living in Jevnaker. I just thought it was such an amazing coincidence! Do you have any connection to Norway?

Hello Helene! I'm glad you're enjoying my Healer books. Wow - that is an amazing coincidence! I actually looked at a map of Norway and picked out those town names for my tribe names. I wanted some place cold and thought of Norway ;). I've never been there, although I'd love to visit. I've been to Sweden and Finland, though.

Hello. I am huge fan of the healer series and since your one of my favourite authors, I was wondering if you could tell me something. At the moment I am trying to right my own story but I just can't seem to make it work. I was hoping you could maybe give me a few pointers on how to write a story? I'm sorry this has nothing to do with your books but I can tell you I love reading you series!
