Enni Amanda is a Finnish–New Zealand rom-com author who writes warm, funny love stories with real-life bite.

She immigrated from Finland to New Zealand in 2006 and promptly fell in love with the scenery, the people, and the strange thrill of not having to defrost a car every morning. After years spent studying filmmaking, running a film festival, and zig-zagging between two countries that really should be closer together, she discovered screenwriting, which eventually led to writing books (a slippery slope).

These days she lives in the Waikato (close to the rolling hills of the Shire), raising two energetic boys, designing things, and writing books while heroically avoiding housework.

I could never force myself to read travel guides, but reading fiction is a fun way of learning about other cultures and peeking into lifestyles a bit different to yours. Right now, travelling just about anywhere feels like a crazy pipe dream. Thank goodness for books!(less)

I'm not great at the marketing side of things, or rather, I don't have a lot of time for that, and at times, I feel absolutely invisible. An invisible person with an expensive, time-consuming hobby :D But then I remind myself of why I love writing, and I have to continue, even if nobody will ever find my books or I never make my money back (which is how it works for most). So, I go back to writing, disappear into that imaginary world and be happy.(less)

“Can we fake-date for two minutes?” he asked. “Just in case you one day give in and decide to accept my offer… Then we’ll have this memory of holding each other on top of a hill, looking at this perfect scenery. And if we focus on that moment, it’ll be like a real memory of us, together. One perfect moment.”
