Lene Kaaberbol is a renowned Danish author, born in 1960 in Copenhagen, Denmark. She is widely recognized for her work in children's and young adult fantasy novels, as well as crime fiction for adults. Kaaberbol's love for writing was evident from a young age, as she published her first two books at the age of 15. Since then, she has written over thirty novels and children's books, earning several national and international awards for her work. Kaaberbol's writing has been translated into more than 30 languages, a testament to her global appeal.
Kaaberbol's preferred genre when writing for children and young adults is fantasy. However, her crime novels for adults are a departure from this, showcasing her versatility as a writer. Her work in the crime fiction genre has been well-received, with her book "The Boy in the Suitcase," co-written with Agnete Friis, being called a "first-rate thriller" by Michelle Wiener of Associated Press. Kaaberbol's writing style is characterized by its sparse, uniquely Scandinavian tone, which sets the stage for emotional suspense and interpersonal friction.
In addition to her work as an author, Kaaberbol has also contributed to the W.I.T.C.H. Adventures series. She enjoys writing in different genres and for different audiences, stating that it's like "living in an auto camper," where she can change the view and meet new people. Kaaberbol currently resides in the Danish countryside with her four dogs, where she continues to write and create new worlds for her readers to explore.
