Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. Talent is a wonderful thing, but it won't carry a quitter.

You fail only if you stop writing.
- Ray Bradbury

Here you can find some of my old works (mostly in Swedish) and some new (both in Swedish, Swedish to English translations and English originals).
I write with my heart and leave the editing for my brain to deal with later, so do note that my first scribbles can be slightly flawed. I try to brush things up a bit before publishing (and I have a pretty good app for proofreading), but English isn't my first language and mistakes might slip through.

I live in Finland but don't speak a word of the language - I'm Finnish Swedish and belong to the 4.9% of the population that speaks Swedish.

The profile picture and my profile background is my own art with inspiration from things I find in random places.
Full pictures and some description can be found in a book (My Art), with some other paintings and drawings I've made on my other profile @AMPERArt (The book is in Swedish so far, but I'm working on translating it.)
I might put some other work on that profile, but I will share a link here if I do since this is my more active profile.

I hope you find something you like! 💖
