Ovstedal has once said in an interview that she was destined to become a writer as she had written numerous compositions in English in her school days that had helped her score top marks in the examinations. Author Ovstedal was given the advice to never give up her writing by her English teacher on the day she left school. She took this advice seriously and went on to excel in her writing career. Her success as an author can be easily understood from the fact that her books have been released in more than 20 different languages.
