I was born 10 miles south of Hamlet's castle under the sign of Gemini (which is really Taurus) in 1947.  Lunches in the Leyre lair were never boring - industrialists, communists, geniuses and lunatics - which had me run screaming through the beech woods.

Hence infected with madness I fled to France where I did a little modeling and spent the rest of my time at the Cinemateque.

After a B.A. in film history from the University of Copenhagen, in 1974 I went to New York and became production assistant at Lois Holland & Callaway (advertising).  After that went to Hollywood to try my hand at screenwriting -- bored I became a Wagnerian tenor.

My latest novel TOWER, is a comedy-thriller about Axel Lauenfeldt, failed actor. His father dead, his family business bankrupt, Axel turns predatory. He sets his fortune-hunting eyes on Marina Heldberg a billionaire Danish heiress.
