SvenskaThis year has been devoted to finalising my books. I must admit that I have worked a lot this year. It is not so good to work so much, but when you really want to realise something a big effort is often needed. And the feeling afterwards is very rewarding. To pay attention to details that maybe nobody notice, and to know that nothing has been left for destiny to decide. It is said that “practice makes perfect”, so I am really sure that my next book will be much easier to write.
During these years two colleagues of mine have read the book “Generationer” and I am very grateful for that. They have shared this journey with me. I have paid a lot of attention to the characters in the book, and they are very popular. Especially Fredrik’s relation to his daughter Greten. One of my colleagues associated to the books “Tuesdays with Morrie” written by the American author Mitch Albom, and in addition, the book “Veronika decides to die” written by the Brazilian lyricist and novelist Paulo Coelho. There are a lot of questions in the book for the reader to answer, so I hope I will get response.
My father concluded after reading the book that life is fragile, and he liked that one of the dogs was called Morris. Furthermore, since I have friends who don’t know Swedish I write here in English. However, my books are written in Swedish. Hopefully a translation to English will be possible in the future.
The other book, “Tid för frihet”, is dedicated to poetry and photography. It is a feel good book. Sometimes I need to find a minut of peace and quiet and then I read a poem and have a look at the pictures. They are mainly from my voyage to Vietnam and Sri Lanka where some of my friends live.
2019 is approaching very rapidly and I wish everybody a Happy, Prosperous New Year. With regard to leisure – writing, photography and sport will continue to be my hobbies. What will your main focus be if you would choose one word to describe your 2019?
Mine is health.
