Damien de Villiers is the nom de plume of a Norwegian author and multi- talented artist. The chosen one is de Villiers´ first completed novel. The person behind Damien de Villiers and The chosen one is cand. philol. (equivalent to Master of Arts) from the University of Bergen. Besides literature, film, art, fashion, music and photography, calligraphy and graphic design are De Villiers´ main interests. Today, Damien de Villiers lives in the Norwegian capital Oslo, where he i.a. has been working as a freelance journalist. He has also been doing modelling and amateur acting. About the pseudonym: The Christian name Damien is chosen because of the associations it implies, while the surname de Villiers is French and aristocratic. At this it matches not only the visual profile, but also the subjects in the planned novels about L. A. Reichborn in the 1990s and his 18th century ancestor Louis Armand Desiré, vicomte d´Argenton.
