Bjørn Andreas Bull-Hansen (born August 18, 1972) is a Norwegian writer, hypnotherapist and champion powerlifter.
Born in Oslo, Bull-Hansen decided to become a writer when an automobile accident on December 22, 1995 left him injured and unable to continue education towards an economics Master's degree. He had previously won several prizes in the powerlifting, including two gold medals in the Norwegian Powerlifting Championship, a bronze medal in the European Championship, and fifth place in the world, as well as several Norwegian records. He decided to finish a manuscript he'd been working on on and off for six years. This became his debut novel, Syv historier fra Vestskogen (Seven Tales of the Western Forest), published in 1997, when Bull-Hansen was 24 years old. He has since written about one book per year.
The stories in Bull-Hansen's novels tend to be set in hostile environments, and he has written both from iron age settings and from a post-apocalyptic world. His characters are often troubled and it's easy to see that Bull-Hansen's experience working with people shines through in his novels.
Bull-Hansen is known as one of the more eccentric authors in Norway, both because of his sports background, which also includes thai boxing, and his sometimes provocative statements in the media. In addition to his writing, he works as a hypnotherapist and mental coach.
