About Louise

I was born on a cold winter's day in Sweden in 1982, but when I was old enough I escaped to Brighton to experience life, love & literature. My debut novel "Punkindustriell hårdrockare med attityd" was published in Sweden in 2007 and won the Author Society's Award for Best Newcomer in Young Adult Fiction. My first novel in English, UNDER THE LIP, is currently being read by UK publishers. To get a break from the novel work I write short fiction, and perform poetry under the name Lou Ice.
