The Planetwalker Trilogy
A generation ship, a deadly secret, and a stolen destiny.
For a thousand years, Conestoga has carried a quarter of a million people towards Alamea—a promised world the youngest generation has been raised to inherit.
At the journey’s end, a young Pioneer uncovers a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of the ship—and threatens not only the mission, but everyone aboard it.
The Planetwalker Trilogy is a character-driven science-fiction saga about inherited purpose, authoritarianism, resistance and the dangerous consequences of asking questions no one wants answered.

I live in Karlstad, Sweden, and when I’m not planning stories or writing them, you’ll find me reading, cooking, or travelling.
