”There is a saying, ’bloom where you are planted’, and that is what I’m doing. I work at the hospital as a nurse, and have been for several years. It felt natural to write about the world that I know of.”
– Anne-Marie Schjetlein

Anne-Marie Schjetlein

Anne-Marie Schjetlein was born in Sweden raised by Norwegian parents. Her family moved around the country, from Eksjö in the south to Kiruna in the north. She has seen a lot of the Sweden she now writes about.

Today she lives with her family on the west coast. When Anne-Marie Schjetlein isn’t writing she works as a nurse, specialized in surgery and has a Master’s degree in medical care.

Anne-Marie Schjetlein has been writing her whole life but it wasn’t until she took a writers course with Johan Theorin and Maria Ernestam, that she understood she already had what she needed to complete an entire book. And the setting was never a question – she loves to depict life in a hospital. Her main interest lies in the interaction in between, how the way and place for growing up influences a person and what creates hate. The hospital gives a frame for this being a place where suffering and pain is mixed with happiness and hope. A breeding ground for strained relations, fear and conflicts.

Authors who inspire are Karin Alvtegen and Karin Wahlberg, and that points out the way towards stories with strong intricate plots and interesting psychological portrayals. Here we find no one-dimensional beasts or totally innocent victims in other words.
