Favorite food
Pasta!
Favorite country
Thailand and the United States. Thailand because the mix of culture, beauty and kindness is irresistible. The food is also a pure pleasure. USA because it is a vitamin injection to go there, especially to New York, where the air vibrates with energy.
Favorite city
London! I never get tired of going there. Afternoon Tea at Browns or Fortnum & Mason (do not miss their food department), shopping at the big department stores, an endless selection of really good Indian and Chinese restaurants. Not to mention all the musicals, plays and exhibitions. Most recently, I saw an exhibition about the Chinese terracotta army at the British Museum. What an experience.
Favorite beach
Fläskberget at Sandhamn in the Stockholm archipelago. It is located in the northern part of the island and there you can enjoy both morning dip and sunset. Nothing beats Swedish summer.
Favorite restaurant
Chez Vrony in Zermatt where you should preferably skii to reach. Fantastic food and wonderful views. You can kill for their pasta with truffles.
What does a normal work day look for you?
In the morning I check emails. I write if it is a "writing day". Sometimes it can be up to ten hours with breaks just to eat or have a coffee. If it's a "meeting day", I meet the publisher, the PR team or my agent for example. Sometimes there are several interviews. I try to put together as many meetings as possible on the same day to be effective.
What is pleasure for you?
To be with my husband and my children, preferably on a trip somewhere far away, with good food and wine.
