Lilly's Story: A Silence of Love and Dawn
Johan Sparr’s journey into the mystical began in the lecture halls of Uppsala University, where he studied Computer Science and Biology.
Inspired by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Johan crafts stories where ancient enchantments are as visceral as the early steam engines of 1764.
Today, Johan lives in the scenic quiet of Bollnäs, Sweden, balancing world-building with tending to his collection of exotic plants and his cat, Purr.
