When I was in Sweden last year, a lovely guy called Chrille told me about a book he was working on. It was to be a collection of experiences, emotions and personal accounts from creative people with backgrounds in various sports. It sounded great and I was very honoured that he asked me to contribute to it and hopefully I did the project justice. It has just been printed and on receiving a copy it looks incredible, a true work of art, I know that Mattias Fredriksson's photography certainly helped make my part look fabulous.
There's all sorts of pieces in there from Skiers, Snowboarders and other dwellers of the Scandinavian mountains. A lot of it is in Swedish but I will try to get my english text up somewhere soon.
A lovely touch, is that every contributor picked their top ten favourite songs, a very hard task and one that I still feel I'd like to add to. Hjärta for those that don't speak Swedish, like myself, means Heart and I know that Chrille put a lot of his heart into this and it shows. There's no corporate agenda, no desire to make money or make oneself appear to be something that they're not. This is a book all about peoples love for what they do and it really does make everything seem worthwhile when a great project like this becomes a reality.
