When I got home, I immediately started writing the first part of the series: Hidden in snow.
It has been very exciting to come up with new characters and use the wonderful Åre. I really indulged myself in descriptions of Åreskutan and the Swedish mountains. There is no doubt that people who know Åre will recognize themselves, it is a fantastic environment to portray in a crime novel.
I would like to mention how helpful the locals of Åre have been during the writing process. During the trip, I met landowners in Ullådalen, police officers in Åre and went on a snow scooter safari to scout for ideal places to hide dead bodies (laugh). Everyone has lined up in a fantastic way.
Next to Sandhamn, there is probably no place where I feel as much at home as in Åre.
