Karin Härjegård is based in Jämtland, an alpine region on the border to Norway, where she lives with her husband, teenage daughter and dog. Here she works part time as a mountain priest. Karin writes captivating and warm relationship novels. She also enjoys writing both poetry and song lyrics.

Warmth and human love are the main characteristics of Karin's books. People are indeed allowed to have their faults and shortcomings.

What inspires Karin to find her stories is above all, the mountains and the forests. Out amongst the expanses, ideas about characters and events are born. And if she gets stuck in her writing, she just needs to get out into the wild to get it all out and then she can keep on writing.

She has previously published several historical novels before turning her attention to upmarket feelgood.

In 2018, Härjegård was awarded Länstidningen’s cultural prize, and in 2022 she was awarded Feelgood Novel of the Year, for A Waffle Hut with a View, at the feelgood festival. The same year she won Feelgood of the year at the Storytel Awards.
