Autorentext

Mikael Lindnord is a Hall of Fame adventure racer. As a boy he wanted to be an ice hockey player, but failing to make the team at the age of seventeen set him on a different path. After doing military service he became an adventure racer in the late 90s. He travelled the world and raced in the Adventure Racing World Series for almost two decades. Today he is a bestselling author, producer, public speaker, entrepreneur, coach and project leader.

Arthur was a mongrel from somewhere in Ecuador. He liked meatballs, long runs with Mikael and relaxing with his family in Sweden.

As an editor of non-fiction at major publishing houses, Val Hudson published many ground-breaking bestsellers. Now a full-time writer, she is the author of a wide range of non-fiction and, as Chloe Bennet, the 'Boywatching' series of novels for young teens.
