Hey, I'm Rebekka

I aim to deliver stories with high stakes, fierce and strange characters, and the kind of wonder that hurts a little, in all the right ways.

 

Born in Norway in 1992, I grew up surrounded by books, in the halls of Gyldendal. Norway’s largest publishing house. My mum (Mamma) was the only female chief cover designer at the time. 

​

In my thirties, after moving to San Diego, California, I found the contrast between frozen Nordic hills and sun-drenched beaches inspiring. In 2021, after being told I could never be a writer, I finally found the courage to prove otherwise and began my first novel.

​

I hold a Master’s degree in Behavior Analysis and Complexity from Oslo Metropolitan University and have published in scientific journals, as well as self-publishing my grandfather’s memoir, Slinger.

​

Today, I’m working on several exciting projects, from a YA space opera to a speculative fiction novel. I’m incredibly proud of my debut, Shattered Ice, and can’t wait to share more stories that explore the strange, human connection, and the beauty of the unknown.
