Author Bio:
I got the idea for the story when there was a fierce discussion in the media here in Denmark about sociopaths wrecking people’s lives and ruining whole companies. I have met some myself. As a grass root activist I have seen such things happen. Safeguarded as I was by my job at the university, I asked myself ‘why don’t people do something about the atrocities they face?’ Helena is the exception that proves the rule. That is how the story began to take shape.
