Trude Helén Hole is a Norwegian Author. She had her first article published at the age of thirteen and has written articles for several magazines. As a little girl she  took an early decision to become an author. Her first novel was finished in 1994, but 12 years went by including some years in Australia where she worked with horses. Back in Norway she worked 6 years with wine before her first novel came in 2006. The Truth about Lotte-Marie sold 6000 and set a Norwegian record for a debutant. 

The books are UNISEX. Hole has written 13 books, among them 4 about the pretty rough and sensitive Lotte-Marie. Humor, irony, intelligence, romance, sex, mysteries and crime are good readings for both men and women of all ages. The character's complexity and her strength is fascinating, but even the strongest can become fragile and insecure. 

Good entertainment and humor are universal, but the books about Lotte-Marie also ask important questions regarding societal development and human behavior, which makes the books highly socially relevant, and Hole´s articles about leadership are widely used in management and academic literature, as well in her own books.

Trude Helén Hole masters the art of balancing strength and vulnerability, humor and seriousness. Her pen is fast, steady and easygoing. Her texts are unique both in form and content and Hole has almost created her own literary genre with her books about Lotte-Marie.
