THE DAUGHTER OF renowned Danish journalist Leif Blædel and Annegrethe Nissen, an actress whose career include roles in theatre, radio, TV and movies, Sara was surrounded by a constant flow of professional writers and performers visiting the Blædel home. Despite a struggle with dyslexia, books gave Sara a world in which to escape when her introverted nature demanded shelter from the cacophony of life. Despite her dyslexia, she pursued a career in journalism and founded the crime publishing house, Sara B., at a time when crime stories were not at all “in fashion”. Slowly the idea of writing novels herself matured – and she hasn’t looked back since.
A NEW CHAPTER begins as Sara Blædel presents her very first children’s book, The Notorious: The Mystery of the Blue Lady – bringing her trademark suspense, warmth, and storytelling magic to a whole new generation of readers.
