About Me

Picture
Picture
I was born in Denmark in northwest Jutland where the wind is so strong that all the trees point to the East. I moved to the United States fifteen years ago after I fell in love with a Brooklyn boy. After some great years in New York City, I now live in coastal South Carolina, a widow, with my daughter. I write fiction in Danish and English and study and write about history, especially Danish American immigration history and WWII.

In the field of history

I'm a few courses away from my master's degree in history at American Public University. My focus is Danish American immigration history and the WWII home front. I've had articles published in ​The Bridge and America Letter. 

​You can see my online exhibit about the Danish American ​WWII home front here: www.danesusawwii.com.
