I was born in Polvijärvi, Finland and studied mathematics and computer sciences at the University in Helsinki, Finland. For thirty-eight years I worked  globally in IT, games and mobile communications business, mostly in Finland, U.S.A and Japan. During my business career I always had a dream to write books. This dream came into reality late 2010 when my first book was published. My 3 first books belong to Christian genre and are available only in Finnish. 2014 has been the year of Children's books. My 2 first illustrated Children's books in English were published in Fabruary ("Lucy The Cat") and April ("God's Children"). Both are available as paperback via Amazon, Barnes& Noble and other stores and as Kindle e-book via Amazon. My charming illustrated fairy tale book "Kissa Kiiskinen sankarina ja muita satuja" was published in March. So far it is available only in Finnish, but hopefully some day translated also in English. Lucy The Cat is now available also in Finnish and it is called "Lucy-Kissa, Lucy The Cat". As an author my main influences are classical writers like Leo Tolstoy, F. Dostoyevsky and Jane Austin, but I love also J. K. Rowlings and The Holy Bible has continuos influence for me. Main sources of inspiration are my 4 lovely grand children, 2 boys and 2 girls, and our charming, cute Sacred Birman cat. You guessed it, she is Lucy The Cat. And of course the world events have their impact in life and sometimes also in writing.            

My fairy tale book "Kissa Kiiskinen sankarina ja muita satuja" was the book of the month in March 2014 in my publisher Aurinko Kustannus' listing.
My Christian book "Armon leipää riihirukiista" was a book of the week In August 2013 in Finnish Christian radio station Radio Dei's listing.
