Kollega, kirjailija Markku Karpio haastatteli minua uusimmasta ja viimeisestä Vedeera-fantasiaromaanista Vedeera ja vuorten pitkät varjot (2026). Puhuimme myös aiemmista osista eli teoksista Vedeeran taru (2012), Vedeera vaarallisilla vesillä (2018) ja Vedeera ja polttavan

Hieno romaani! Todistaa, ettei aiheen tarvitse olla ihmeellinen, vaan oleellista on se, miten sitä käsitellään. Kieli soljuu mallikkaasti, mistä osaltaan on kiittäminen varmasti myös suomentaja Marja Kyröä.
