If I'd want to travel into some place from your books, which place from this word would you recommend that is similar to a place from your world?

S…moreWhen I write my books and create places, I usually take couple of real world places, mix them, add a lot of imagination, and then the place is born. So it is very difficult to say that this place is like that place in real world.

Of course there are some exceptions. Most obvious of them are from books I'm working on right now, so I will not spoil those places for you yet. However I can give you one example.

If you read my second book, Yöltä riistetty, you will find description of an area surrounding city of Varya. This area is inspired by ridge landscape of eastern and middle Finland. Most notable a hiking paths called "Susitaival" and "Huuhkajan kierros" have inspired me greatly when creating this area. (less)

Which character from your or any other book do you relate the most to?

They are made by those authors, and I can't tell what they have thought while writing nor can I know their characters so thoroughly.

As with my own characters, I can't say that I relate more to some specific character. In a way they are all extensions of me. I give many of my own thoughts to my characters, and in a way it is easier to process my own thoughts from the perspective of these characters. Of course some characters have more of me in them than others.

So my answer to your question is probably all of them!(less)

Hopealilja

Ken hänet tiellään kerran kohtaa,
sitä milloinkaan ei voi unohtaa.
On hiuksensa puhdasta hopeaa
ja tahtonsa terästä lujempaa.
Vaan silmissä asuu lempeys syvä
ja rinnassa sydän viisas, hyvä.
Ei pimeyskään voi sammuttaa,
Tätä liekkiä kirkkaasti loistavaa.
Sillä läpi tulen ja kuoleman,
matka kulkenut on Hopealiljan.
