Eva Björg Ægisdóttir

Hello and welcome to my page! I just deliverd book number 6 to my icelandic editor - a start of a new series! I am an Icelandic author of the bestselling Forbidden Iceland series and my books have been published all over the world. My first book, The Creak on the Stairs, won the Crime Writers Association New Blood dagger, the Blackbird Award and was shortlisted for the Amazon Publishing Awards and the CrimeFest Specsavers Debut Awards. In the series I write about my hometown Akranes, a small town just forty minutes outside of Reykjavík with population of around 8000 people. I love to write about dysfunctional families and relationships. I have a degree in Sociology and Criminology and am very much interested in human behaviour, which is perhaps evident in the books. About me: I grew up in Akranes and fell in love with reading at the age of 5. I moved to Norway in my twenties to study my Masters Degree and lived there for two years. When I moved back to Iceland I began writing my first novel, as I always knew I wanted to write a book. I am lucky to have been a full time writer ever since it was published!
