Hello and welcome,

you are now on Norwegian author and playwright Bjorn-Erik Hanssen's homepage.
My last book is the biography The Golden Viking, a spectacular story about the boxer Ole Klemetsen's life and career. The story has also been realised as film (Big John) and theatre monologue (A Fighter's Heart) for which I have written the scripts.
The film Big John has received several awards in Norway and internationally.

I work as a writer/producer for the Tanzanian Theatre company Tumaini Group, for which I have written the performance Barabaig! (2003) and Maji Maji - The Magic Water (2011)

I am currently working on a biograhy and a film script about Norwegian actress Kirsten Heiberg, who worked for Goebbels in the German filmindustry from 1938 until 1945.

My production consists of novels, film manuscripts, plays and poetry. The novel The Leopard Man has been translated into English, and is for sale on the web. Here:

I have worked two years in Tanzania, among other things with theatre. You will find much material about Tanzania and the Iraqw people on the homepage. The Leopard Man sums up my experiences from Tanzania.

I'm also the editor and creator of The Leopard Man's African Music Guide.
