Olin Torvingen

Olin Torvingen has lived in countries mainly beginning with the letter S, as an expatriate and has held various and varied positions, depending on the destination. From teaching to marketing.

As fantasy is the genre she prefers to write, this forced tourism does not help her very much in the creation of her novels. Which she finds quite ironic.

Olin likes Lego bricks, archipelagos, encyclopedias about animals and 70% dark chocolate. She drinks Earl Grey tea and reads a lot of comics (Gary Larson, Tom Gault or Sarah Andersen).

The discovery of Anglophone lesbian literature, (authors such as Lee Winter or Nicola Griffith), encouraged her to look for equivalents in her language, then to write them. Because in the end, she doesn't really want other readers, lesbians like her, to take 20 years to be able to find heroines with whom they could identify in their readings.

And you're thinking that doesn't really help you figure out if you'll like the way he writes... She would agree.

Well, you can always complain about it on @olintorvingen on instagram, on her Facebook profile or @o_torvingen on Twitter

Olin very rarely writes in the third person to talk about herself and she is now finding out with you that she really doesn't like it.
