”They tackle difficult themes of colonialism and violence with unflinching grace, and the band of young people at the center of the story—and the fate they create for themselves—makes me want to sob and cheer at the same time. — — This may be the story in this book most likely to rewire your brain.”
That's what they said about my short story in the coming Dragon Bike anthology!

Oujes, toinen romaanini on painossa! Saattaapi siis olla kaikkien saatavilla tuossa lokakuun alkupuolella. 🎉 🍍 🚲

My second novel, ”Latter Days Business Opportunities”, is coming out in October 2019.
The book itself is in Finnish, but I thought I could share the trailer I made for it for the international audience too, as the imagery is pretty self explanatory.

Toinen romaanini, Myöhempien aikojen liiketoimintamahdollisuuksia, ilmestyy lokakuussa 2019.
Itse kirja on edennyt niin pitkälle, että ehdin välillä leikkiä videoeditorinkin kanssa.
Siispä tässä maan mainio traileri kirjastani.

Fourth chapter of my #velopunk youth novel written today, with the work title ”Chase #1”. Yeah, keep those bikes crashing!
Eilen sain taas pitää tuoretta tekijänkappaletta käsissäni. Novellini Pure mun ananasta on julkaistu Äänellä jonka kuulet -antologiassa.
The feel when your editor has made their comments on an old version of your story... Can't stand without mate.
Here's an interesting longread about an American #velopunk hero of their days and their influence on the US bicycling culture.

Although the writer (Joe Biel) makes bold claims about Kittie Knox's worldwide legacy, as a European person I wouldn't swallow them without chewing.
Nyt kävi näin! 51066 sanaa, ja Fitsikapinalliset-trilogian päätösosa on kirjoitettu.
