About Me

InHouse is a big part of me. I started it from scratch and it’s amazing where it is going—thanks also to the others involved. When not at work I have simple tastes: fresh air, a good cup of coffee, peace—and by the way, it’s me that makes the coffee. I’m happy to potter around at home, fixing things.

My Saturday treat is a cheese platter by the pool with my wife and my poodle, Jac. We are now the family elders, as all parents have passed. Spending time with the grandchildren is a good way to pass the time and it’s great to watch them grow and develop.

I was born in Stockholm and have been back twice to see parents and family, once accompanied by our eight-year-old granddaughter, who had never seen snow.

About Work

The three of us (Diane, Chrisstie, and myself) started this business, and my role has changed drastically over the years. Now we have a large team who are all proficient at what they do. I am now able to depend on the skills and expertise of our team, so that I can take a step back to settle into the golden years.

So, for now, long weekends and early cuts are it, but in the future I expect a lot more freedom to travel, etc. I would never want to give it all away, and intend on being around for the long haul.

I can't recommend InHouse Publishing highly enough. This was my first experience self-publishing and after lots of... research I decided to go with them. I'm extremely thankful I did as they were very reasonably priced and the product they produced was excellent quality. They were very responsiveness to all my questions, nothing was too much trouble and the process was thoroughly explained. They assisted me through every step of the process and I will definitely use them again should I decide to self-publish another book.read more

I cannot recommend this publisher enough. Each team member is attentive, responsive and professional in their approach ... towards their authors. I felt nurtured during the process and no task or request was ever too hard for the team. I have no hesitation in endorsing InHouse Publishing to other authors.read more

My gratitude to the InHouse Publishing team on the excellent workon my self-help book in my series titled, "Navigating... Grief."My appointments with Nevada were extremely informative and very helpful in framing what "InHouse," has to offer. Supported and guided by the friendly team from editing through to illustrations and the printing of the book. On receiving the printed copies, I can only comment that they have performed an excellent result in all areas. I highly recommend using this friendly and professional family-run business.

I engaged in-house publishing to deliver my second book the little book of Human. From the first conversation to the... delivery of the product I was incredibly impressed with the care that the entire team showed towards me and in particular their willingness to understand the human behind the book. The way the process moved seamlessly from one department to the next tells me that this is a team who cares for each other, and in turn this is felt by me the customer. With book three now into concept stage I know I’ll be giving in-house publishing a call once the manuscript is done. You won’t go wrong if you engage them.read more
