Ritta Jacobsson

I started my career with 16 humorous, everyday stories about an ordinary teenagegirl's extraordinary life - the series about TINA.

Then I wrote a crime novel, using the pseudonym Helena Nurmi. It is called Exekutorn (The executor)

The teen series ”JONZON, JONSSON” about the stepsiblings Tea and Alexis is going to be published from april 2011.

The teen crime series about APHRODITE was published in 2006 and got really popular in 2006 when I was honoured with the prize ”Spårhunden” (”The bloodhound”)for best youth crime novel of the year – the first part of Aphrodite: ”Afrodite och döden”! (Aphrodite and death)

I have written a crime novel with short sentences for boys (and girls)
who hesitate to read a long book.

I also visit schools in Sweden and Finland. My main goal is to get the pupils interested in reading, to inspire them to write their own stories and let them catch a glimpse of everyday-life as an author.

I also lecture for grown-ups at libraries and conferences.
