I enjoy simple things in life, whether it’s a pilates class, a good book or a movie. And, yes, that quality latte makes me happy, as does the company of beings who are wiser than me. For example, cats. I have made some big moves in my personal life, left my well-paid job as a theatre teacher, lived in a foreign country, put all my focus into writing, and once I went to birthday party where I didn’t know anyone besides the birthday guy – and he was my date!

Alma, the healer in my novel, would probably say that according to Chinese horoscope I am a wood tiger, which means I enjoy improvising and trying out new things. 

Nowadays, I divide my time between places I love, the quiet Finnish woods and trendy Barcelona cafes with filled with bossanova. I’m in a passionate relationship with the Mediterranean city. And, yes, it is serious!
