Åsa Larsson made her writing debut in 2003 with the novel "Sun Storm." The book was awarded the Swedish Crime Writers’ Association Prize for best debut novel and rights have now been sold to ten further countries.

Swedish-born author Åsa Larsson is a fully qualified lawyer but stopped practicing that profession after her writing debut thriller in 2003. Her second book - " The Spilt" - was chosen as Best Swedish Crime Novel of 2004 and also enjoyed an immediate success.
Born in an isolated part of northern Sweden, Asa Larrson lived for some years in Stockholm but today, prefers the rural life with her husband and two children in Mariefred. To date she has written four novels and all are set in that part of the country.

In this week’s Inspired Minds, Asa Larrson talks to Breandáin O’Shea about her move from law to literature, the inspiration she finds in Sweden's countryside for her novels and the crucial part her family plays in her creative process.
