Anna Maria Angelika Jansson (born 13 February 1958) is a Swedish
Jansson began writing novels in 1997 after her family bought a computer.[2] At this time she had worked as a nurse for twenty years, and although she still enjoyed her occupation, she felt it was time to try something new.[1] Jansson commented: "In school I hated writing essays, but then we got a computer at home, and suddenly I discovered that I actually felt happy as I was writing."[1] A contributing factor to Jansson's decision to pursue her career as an author was her patients; she often met patients that were about to die and she was told that they regretted the fact that they had not spent much time in life doing what they really wanted.[1]
The inspiration for Jansson's novels, which deal with crimes, came from the patients she met in her job as a nurse.
Jansson's crime novels take place in Gotland and the main character in all of them is criminal inspector Maria Wern.
Despite her now successful career as a writer, Jansson still works part-time as a nurse at Örebro Hospital's lung clinic.[1][6] She has three children and lives in Vintrosa outside of Örebro.[1]
