Anna Jansson
Anna Maria Angelika Jansson (born 13 February 1958) is a Swedish crime writer and nurse from Visby, Gotland. She started her career as a surgeon nurse, but soon went over to the lung clinic due to her frequent fainting from seeing blood.[1]
Jansson began writing novels in 1997 after her family bought a new computer.[2] At this time she had worked as a nurse for twenty years, and she felt it was time for her to try something new.[1] Her inspiration came from the patients she met in her job as a nurse.[1] Jansson's first crime novel to be published was Stum sitter guden in 2000. She had written two novels prior to Stum sitter guden, but failed to find a publisher for them.[2]
Despite her successful career as a writer, Jansson still works as a nurse.[3] She has tree children and lives in Vintrosa outside of Örebro.[1]
