Hello everyone!

  I'm currently writing this exciting post while hungover at a hotel, soon to head home, where I'm getting ready to move out of the writing cave and into the big, scary real world.

  So you might ask, "What's exciting about this hungover Finnish guy moving out of his parents' house?"

  It's that I can officially call myself a full time author now! Thanks to everyone's support over the last year, I've saved up enough pennies to get drunk on multiple occasions, and now I've somehow made enough cash to eat food as well.

  Oh and The Ethersmith, my other book, is also now officially published by the lovely folks at Timeless Wind Publishing! Synopsis below.

  Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

  The world moved on from runesmiths. Vivi didn’t.

  A curse from birth has doomed Vivi to die when she turns eighteen. She’s a masterful runesmith, and if she could just convince arrogant ether hunters that her family has solved runeswords’ fatal flaw, she might earn enough ether to save herself.

  When a rebellious spirit defies his handler to bond with Vivi, she becomes a fugitive, escaping capture only to land in an inescapable demonic prison.

  The bright side? She’s an ether hunter now—with an endless supply of monsters from which to harvest ether, hone her spirit’s power, and finally test her runeswords.

  But first, she must learn how to wield one.

  We've got audiobooks and physical copies, all professionally edited by some dude called CarrotsPls. Link in the author notes below! Reviews and ratings are a great help if anyone has the spare time to write one.

  Thank you everyone for an amazing 2025!

  Oh, and yes, I am going to be moving next week. That'll unfortunately mean I'll miss a few chapter drops on RR for both books. My apologies, I'll keep you updated on the schedule.

  Thanks, Matias!
