Anne Lene Johnsen

Anne Lene (pronounced Anneh-Leneh) Johnsen (yes, with an "e") is sown and grown in Norway (born 1968, still working on the growing up-part). Already as a child her passion was to figure out stuff which is smart to know about, and tell the rest of the world about it (well, some people in her surroundings, at least). While growing up, she has widened her audience to include readers of her magazine columns and books, some translated into several other languages, and those who hear her speak at different venues where she is given a microphone.

She is one of Norway´s most selling non-fiction authors, her most popular book being on how to install the right software in the brain to make it possible to understand math. Since life is not only about math, but about art, tea and chocolate as well, she also writes stories about that, many of them with an extra Scandinavian touch. You may also notice in her texts that she likes to teach something fun, play with names, and place small Easter eggs here and there, (and that she likes parentheses.)
