Høgni Mohr (born in Tórshavn 8 October 1968) is a Faroese author. A mechanic by trade, who also studied export technology, Mohr has been a keen writer since his early years.[1]

Høgni Mohr has his very own style of writing. His texts are colourful, sincere and often incredibly entertaining. It is obvious to the reader that the author truly enjoys writing, and you can almost visualise the pleasure he feels as he comes up with his offbeat expressions. I hope his texts will be used in schools as an example of outstanding writing.
