For the last couple of weeks I’ve been busy finishing the manuscript of my novel. I’m going to, like the other two, self-publish the novel at Books on Demand.
It’s tedious to rewrite old text, I’ve been bored to death. I don’t like to read my old texts, they are familiar, and there’s nothing surprising in them. Boring, boring, boring, but now I’ve done it.
I had this manuscript, but no name for the novel, so I arranged a query in my main Finnish blog and asked the readers to come up with a name. They gave plenty of suggestions, and the name was found.
Having got the name, I made some sketches for the book cover, and made a poll.
Doing all this, has left me very little time to visit your blogs, less leaving comments. Sorry about that.
The novel’s name is Valkoiset talot, White Houses, and it’s a story about four white houses and their residents. There’s going to be a lot of misery, hope, love, every day life in the book. It’s a novel about us, here and now.
Hopefully, the novel sees daylight in June.

Wonderful! There will be some good reading for the summer!
Good luck - I imagine it is not in English...my best. Like the photo.
Maybe so, Lepis, at least reading.
No, not in English, John, too difficult, thanks.
Sounds like a good project. I admire you.
I have to share the word verification: munawink...strange...
Munawink, ha ha, chrome3d, good sharing.
It's an interesting project, but is there anything to admire about it, I doubt.
Darn! Now I have to begin my Finnish lessons ... again! :)
Well, it's time. Mick!
Great news!!
Thank you, Ellen.
*GULP*
You write novels!
It sounds interesting already :-)
Well, you have to learn Finnish, Azer :)
So, the book will be for your Finish friends! I will have to be satisfied with your English - and Swedish - blogs, but I'm sure you will do your best to keep us foreigners happy!
Wouldn't it be nice if everyone spoke Finnish, Peter :)
