Lene Kaaberbøl
Jeg kom til verden på Rigshospitalet i København d. 24.3.1960. Overlægen var i kjole og hvidt - han var blevet afbrudt midt i en gallamiddag - men min søster siger, at det er da ikke noget, hendes fødselslæge var i islandsk nationaldragt. Nogen vil mene at det således allerede fra starten var klart at jeg var et ganske særligt barn. Andre vil sikkert påstå at min mor bare var god til at skabe pludselige gynækologiske kriser.
Jeg blev altså født i København, men det må nok betragtes som en fejl, for min forældre er jyske, min opvækst foregik i Jylland (mestendels i Malling ved Århus), og jeg betragter mig i dag som eksil-jyde på Frederiksberg, på det mine jyske venner omtaler som Djævleøen (Sjælland).
Jeg har skrevet altid, eller i hvert fald

Min hemmelighed
Buy books on Amazon
Jeg er født i 1985 og startede med at skrive som 13-årig. En dag satte jeg mig bare ned ved computeren og begyndte at skrive på den historie, der havde vokset i mine tanker den sidste lange tid. Jeg skrev hver dag efter skole og bogen blev længere og længere.
Jeg fortalte ikke nogen, at jeg skrev. Det var en hemmelighed det første lange stykke tid. Nok især fordi jeg på det tidspunkt ikke var særlig god i skolen. Jeg var en af dem, der havde mindst 10 fejl i diktat og tit også 20 eller 30 fejl. Men jo mere jeg skrev, jo bedre blev jeg også i skolen, og da jeg startede i 9. klasse var jeg blandt de dygtige elever og havde også en færdig bog på computeren.
Min allerførste bog

Hej!
Buy books on Amazon
Jeg hedder Julie Midtgaard og er forfatter til den nye fantasyserie Sprækken til Luscuro.
Jeg har altid haft en drøm om at blive forfatter. Inden jeg lærte at skrive, lavede jeg små bøger til mine yngre søskende fyldt med tegninger. Senere med ord. Til forældremøderne bad lærerne mine forældre om hjælp til at begrænse sidetallet i mine fristile. Det løste jeg ved at skrive ulæseligt småt.
Efter folkeskolen lagde jeg fortællingerne på hylden i næsten 10 år. Først i 2015 fik en novellekonkurrence mig til at genoptage skriverierne og melde mig ind i skriveforeningen HUF (Håbefulde Unge Forfattere). Jeg vandt konkurrencen hvilket gav mig mod på at indsende en række noveller til forlag. Nogle blev antaget, men lige så mange fik afslag.

I grew up in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, which is less bucolic than it sounds; it’s a suburb of Milwaukee. Whitefish Bay is nonetheless charming. It’s right on Lake Michigan. Quiet streets, glorious autumns. One of my earliest memories is of standing with my mother in a cozy brick building that was at one time the public library. I think the cozy building later became the police department, which does give Whitefish Bay a sort of Mayberry vibe.
