About My Library: Most of my reading consists of research for my writing. This of course includes history but also less obvious subjects like philosophy, business literature and sociology. Every now and then I read fiction for pleasure although my patience has worn thin over the years.
About Me: Jack of all trades, master of none sums me up pretty good. I'm trained as a veterinarian and worked with microbes and food for some years, then switched to marketing and information. Between 2000-2008 I worked in the successful company behind the MySQL database. I also did some farming and horse breeding. Currently I'm spending full time writing a sequel to my latest Swedish novel "Svavelvinter" (Sulphur Winter). The setting is a fantasy renaissance world roughly based on 15th century Italy, the Roman republic and ancient Mesopotamia. It is also often a caricature of our own greedy times.
