edit data

C.J Persson (Johan, when he’s not being pretentious) was born and raised in Lund in the south of Sweden where he still lives. He was introduced to fantasy at age six when his older brother brought home a Warhammer box. Since then he’s gobbled down all books in his path with a particular appetite for Pratchett, Gaiman and Rowling.

His writing is inspired by Norse mythology and Swedish fairy tales. He studied engineering but the love for writing was always there. Johan sometimes writes about himself in the third person since it makes it easier to write “about the author” sections.

"Alice and the Golden Egg" is his/my debut novel and is available on Amazon. Still curious? Check out my website, CJPersson.com. ...more
