Hæ hæ! My name is Satu Rämö, I’m a Finnish-Icelandic author of bestselling nordic blue crime series called HILDUR. International rights are sold to 20+ countries and d during the first 2,5 years HILDUR books have sold over one million copies worldwide. I was born in Finland in 1980 and moved to Iceland twenty years ago as an economics exchange student. Instead of macroeconomics I ended up studying Icelandic culture, literature and mythology. Living in Iceland, I have written extensively about Nordic culture and life in the North Atlantic, blending my firsthand experiences into my novels. I live with my family in the small town of Ísafjörður in northwest Iceland. I love ice cream, rye bread and sparkling wines. I drink my coffee with cream as often as possible. My crime fiction debut Hildur (2022) changed the game for me as an author, totally. HILDUR-series is Icelandic-Finnish nordic blue crime fiction that takes place in a small village in the Westfjords of Iceland. Nordic blue is similar to nordic noir but more human. The stories are from the darker sides of the Nordic society but they also follow how people are dealing with each other in life in general. Finnish Take Two Studios will shoot the HILDUR series in Iceland with an Icelandic co-production. Turku City Theather stages HILDUR on their Main Stage in autumn 2024–2025. I just love writing! You can chat me your thoughts in Instagram at @satu_ramo I hope to hear from you :) All the best from the Westfjords of Iceland, at the end of the road Satu Rämö (10th June 2025) PS: ...and here are some awards & nominations I've got so far: THE CLUES IN THE FJORD (fi.
