Claus M. Lohman, born 1971, is a danish chemistry and science teacher who lives in the city of Hans Christian Andersen, Odense, with his two sons. About twenty years ago he wrote a novel for his own amusement, setting it on a shelf unpublished. Ten years later he got an idea for a plot for another book. He toyed with the new storyline over a number of years, developing and changing it. A couple of years ago he mentioned his ideas to a friend in passing. This friend liked the idea and persuaded him to start writing. Her insistence finally paid off and, almost two years later, Claus M. Lohman has turned his original idea into his debut novel which has become a great success in his homeland, Denmark. Genesis has recieved lots of positive reviews back in Denmark.
