Aino was born in Helsinki, Finland, in the '80s. She's always loved stories of all sorts, but ever since her mother read her Tolkien's LoTR when Aino was 5, she has loved fantasy. Overall, Aino is the slightly annoying artsy type who is often wrapped up in her own head. But she can be nice too, especially if you buy her a glass of whiskey. The only constant thing about her personality seems to be that it’s always shifting to the opposite. She doesn’t so much think about the story as she notes it down as it unfurls. Though several neighbors and bypassers might have spied her acting out dialogue and then talking to herself about the flaws. Her passions include shiny things, silliness, and oddly placed melancholy and pathos. On the more boring and factual side: she has studied writing under a few Finnish authors and creative writing when she was in Uni getting her translation degree.
Aino is currently working on the Strands of Existence series that will have 4 books in total. The second one is almost ready for publication, and she is also in the middle of writing the first version of the third book.
