I'm honored to be one of this year's recipients of the Danish "Autorkontoen" writing grant for authors of children's literature! It's my first writing grant and will support my work on my MG WIP with elements of both Denmark and the United States, WWII, and grief

Today, "Mormors Fine Porcelæn" (Grandma's Fine China) is published, and I'm just as happy as I am in this photo from Gads Publishing in Denmark this summer when I got my first printed copy of the book in my hands!

COVER REVEAL! I'm so excited to share the front cover of my debut picture book: "The Journey to New York: Then & Now"! As a Danish immigrant to the U.S., I've poured my heart and soul into the dual timeline story of Anna and Nora. Ill. Signe Gabriel. @gadsforlag

The drawing by Mikkel Henssel for my serialized Danish magazine mystery novella fits the story about a coat check lady investigating the brutal attack on a waiter at the 1949 Copenhagen night club "Klub Marokko" perfectly #familiejournal #mystery #elmorocco #historicalfiction
