Thorsten Weitling was born in Haderslev in the southern part of Denmark. An encouraging father paired with an overly active imagination launched him into the world of books and writing – first as a journalist and then later as an author. Apart from holding the title of Lord of some offshore-drilling-platform-become-country (courtesy of close “friends”), he is also singlehandedly keeping the coffee industry afloat with his massive consumption of magical brown bean juice. Thorsten is also heavily invested in amateur acting, spending large amounts of time each summer pretending to be a Viking for the benefit of tourists and guests in South Jutland.

He currently lives and writes in a small apartment in Aarhus, Denmark.

To fuel my ideas and the preternatural elements of the story I drew heavily upon my knowledge of Norse Mythology and my own Danish roots, trying to get as close to the actual myths and legends as possible, while at the same time tweaking everything to fit into the setting.(less)
