Ruth Lillegraven debuted in 2005 with a collection of poetry entitled Big Bad Poems. Since then, she has published a novel, eight poetry collections, and a series of children’s books. Her work has been nominated for several prizes and she was awarded, among other distinctions, the Brage Prize and the Nynorsk Literature Prize. Her first psychological crime thriller, Everything is Mine (Alt er mitt), is the first in a trilogy, and has been enormously successful, including multiple international sales, and the sale of film rights to Nordisk film. Blood Ties is the second volume in the “Clara – series” and My Next Life completed the trilogy in 2025.

“Another gripping pageturner, AV MITT BLOD presents a vulnerable Clara suffering a severe backlash.
Like ALT ER MITT, this book will leave readers yearning for a sequel and more of Ruth Lillegraven’s crystalline prose”, says Marion Wichmann in List /Ullstein Verlage.
Av mitt blod (Blood Ties) is by now sold for publication in English, Danish, German, Italian and Polish, and the Polish edition will be published already mid -September 2021.
