MY BOOKS
I had my debut in 1974 with my science fiction book T FOR TRAMATURA (a collection of short stories) Before that I had many short stories in antologies, magazines, NRK etc since 1968. I have published over 100 short stories this way. Then follows a lot of books: PLANETMALERNE, SYKLON, OND SIRKEL, STORMNATT, KOMSA-TRILOGIEN (about the stone age people in Jiebmaluokta, Bossekop), RAMBOS LOV, TIDSKAPSELEN, LEMENHÆREN, VARGTID etc.
My lecture about the Sami emigration to Alaska in 1894 and 1898 and Canada in 1931, is also translated into English (duration version 1: 1 hour. Version2: 2X45 minutes). I am a member of Nordnorsk Forfatterlag (since 1973), Norsk Forfattersentrum, Mun Dajan, Forfatterforbundet.
SAMISK UTVANDRINGSHISTORIE
In 1998 I attended a competition for a series of novels for Egmont/Cappelen-Damm. I had read Ørnulf Vorrens book SAMI, REINDEERS AND GOLD IN ALASKA and wanted to write a dramatisation of this story. Started with 14 pages and a synopsis. In 1999 I was one of the two winners of this competition. I had to make the research necessary for a serie sof novels and also went to Alaska during the summer of 2000. Startet the writing and had to have 6 manuscripts ready before publishing the first book in the series RAVNEDRØM (RAVEN DREAMS). It ended up with 12 books in this series SJAMANENS RIKE (KINGDOM OF THE SHAMAN) 2002-2003. The two first book in the series is translated into Sami but still only these two books was published because the publisher Idut did not get the necessary support for the next books. Idut is still trying to get this support. In 2002 SJAMANENS RIKE was published as audio books. In 2014 my documentary book LANDET BAKOM (THE LAND BEHIND) about the 3 groups of Sami to Alaska and Canada was pulished. A new edition was out 2022. I have also a lecture about this emigration. Both projects can be found as ebooks at amazon.com and ebok.no.
MINE BØKER
Debuterte i 1974 med novellesamlingen T FOR TRAMATURA (science fiction), inspirert av Ray Bradbury. Hadde da allerede utgitt en rekke noveller i ukeblader, magasiner, antologier m.m. siden 1968. Så gikk det slag i slag med novellesamlinger og romaner i denne sjangeren og innen fantasy: PLANETMALERNE, OND SIRKEL, STORMNATT, KOMSA-TRILOGIEN (DEN HVITE SØVNEN, HAVØRNAS SKYGGE, NORDLYSVINGER), første ungdomsroman RAMBOS LOV så TIDSKAPSELEN (om en tyskerunges skjebne), LEMENHÆREN, VARGTID. Til siste dokumentarboken LANDET BAKOM om de tre gruppene av samer som emigrerte til Alaska i 1894 og 1898 samt Canada i 1931) Nyutgave av denne boken utkom 2022. Har holdt foredrag om denne utvandringen flere steder. Flere av mine bøker er på amazon.com og ebok.no som ebøker.
Mitt hovedverk er SJAMANENS RIKE, en av vinnerne i romankonkurransen hos Egmont/Cappelen/Damm i 1999. Kom ut i 12 bøker 2002-2003. Var i Alaska sommer 2000 på research. To av bøkene er utkommet på nordsamisk, men støtten til de resterende kom aldri. En stor skuffelse. Lydbøker av hele serien ble utgitt 2022.
