I write for free, but if you like my writing and want to show some support, you can buy me a coffee at: buymeacoffee[dot]com/dearllama :)

FictionPress now doesn't support a lot of links, so I will always replace the . in links with [dot]. Please edit accordingly. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Find me and my writing on my other sites! I post a lot of excerpts and quotes, as well as upcoming projects I'm working on. Other than writing, I draw a little, so I like to draw my own book covers as well. Follow me to see me working on all the new creative projects that come to my mind. There are a lot of those, because I like to do things on a whim :P

My self-published short-story eBook (The Rapihi Chronicles) is now available for free! (Find the download-links at books2read[dot]com/rapihi1)

And I'm currently working on other book projects, including an upcoming eBook (also going to be free and a little silly) in Dec 2019. I will be blogging about my progress on my website, if anyone's interested.

LIFE/WRITING UPDATES

As of August 2019, I've self-published my very first eBook of a silly little short story about a toy dragon and his adventures with his humans called The Rapihi Chronicles. You can get it for free at most major eBook retailers (just google the title), including Google Books! It's also on Amazon but costs $0.99 on there currently; I'm trying to make it permanently free eventually so please help me to "report a lower price" on the Amazon website if you happen to go on there.

The story is really kind of silly and not like other things I've written, so I'm embarrassed of it, yet I'm proud because it's the first thing I've made into a legit eBook and illustrated as well. So please check it out if you like reading my writing!

2019:

So... believe it or not, I'm a librarian now. HAHA. I like my job and my colleagues, but it's also being at this job that makes me realise, I don't want to work for someone else forever. And I'm not one of those entrepreneurs, I don't want to start my own company or anything. The only thing I want to do is write. And so! I shall return to writing. I've stopped because of the aforementioned things that happened. I guess I can talk about them now: my beloved dog died, then my dad got cancer and after a hard battle died as well, in between all that I had my heart broken by the Finnish guy I wrote Something Better about, and also the reason I had to take the sequel to that down because I couldn't handle writing it anymore, and eventually near mid-2017 I also got diagnosed with depression. All in all, it's been a few eventful years.

But now I'm ready to start writing again, and, when the time comes, publish my works. If you read my stories, please review and give me some feedback, thanks!

2018:

I don’t know if anyone still even reads my stories, but I have been posting little snippets on my twitter and tumblr accounts more lately. I’ve also been trying to write but a lot of things have happened in my life and things are a little difficult and not so conducive to creating right now... I still do want to write and get published someday though. For those who still read my works, thanks so much for doing so. I hope to post again soon.

2014:

This year, I have decided to move away from one-shots and try my hand at finishing my first novel! It's called Auld Lang Syne and it's about a group of estranged friends who are reunited after 3 years... Of course there's going to be a good dose of romance and drama thrown into the mix. Working on a novel is going to be a little hard, since I've only ever written one-shots (mostly), so... Wish me luck! :D

I'm going to be writing a lot more this year, so do watch out for new works! I'll definitely still be writing one-shots too.

I found out a while back that some of my stories are featured on A Drop of Romeo. A big thank you to whoever submitted them! Here are the links: Blue Eyes, Hab Dich Lieb, Facebook Official, Fades In The Summer and Auld Lang Syne! Facebook Official was also nominated for Best One-Shot in Round 12 of SKoW Awards.

You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.
- Anne Lamott

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
- Thoreau

We must do extraordinary things. We have to. It would be absurd not to.
- Dave Eggers

I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited.
- Jorge Luis Borges
