@akegronholm.bsky.social I have a ton of biz meetings in the Nordic pavilion. Here's my schedule (so far). Come say hi! ๐Ÿงก @jyrki-hameenniemi.bsky.social Wasn't my intention to rub it in, merely trying to find a chaperone* *tho I can do 30 pushups & 5 pullups, so I can likely take care of myself!๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ’ช

Here are some more progress pics for the #bookcover of "Vivian Amberville - The Empire of Sand" (3rd book in the upcoming #darkfantasy series)๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š Everything you see was hand-drawn by yours truly (no AI) Tools: pen, paper & Wacom tablet I still got a very long way to go qua linework & colouring.๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿคž

By the way, here's the #conceptart I made for "Vivian Amberville - The Empire of Sand" (vol 3) book cover. Obviously, it's still rough around the edges and needs a lot of detail work, but I'd still appreciate some thoughts. #vivianamberville #darkfantasy #bookcover #conceptart #pencilsketch

Some of you wanted to see what became of my clay art project.๐Ÿค— Here's my 1st attempt at building a Darkthing - an eldritch voidspawn from the #VivianAmberville universe.๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š Darkthings have no eyes or smell, but are drawn to the light of human consciousness. They live in the #backrooms of reality.

I'll be attending Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany, on the 27th of August. Find me in the B2B area on Thursday, between 10:00 and 20:00. Let's have a chat about books, videogames & all things in-between. If you're a game industry professional, I'd love to compare notes! Hope to see you there! ๐Ÿงก

!!!!!***SUPPORT INDIE AUTHORS***!!!!! #FF (I know it's Taco Tuesday but DAMMIT!) @louiseblackwick.com The advantages to living in the same country as a revered and loved author? Next day delivery! And I gotta say, the smell from the box it came in reminds me of tarot cards and a dang good time!

3 upsidedown books. Gawds I love my camera/tablet. All 3 personally signed with each having a heartfelt dedication.

9 years ago, a wee fantasy tale called "The Weaver of Odds" was summoned into reality & changed my life forever. ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿ“š Today, we celebrate 500K sold paperbacks+hardbacks of the novel + millions of eBooks. Thank you all who had purchased a copy. I hope I can keep on writing stories worthy of you.๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ

5) THE WEAVER OF ODDS (6/11) - my debut novel, 1st in the Vivian Amberville dark fantasy book series. - it follows a girl called Vivian whose thoughts can control odds & twist the very fabric of reality. - this story ended up being a huge success & kick-started my professional writing career.๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

I had an amazing day on set today. ๐Ÿฅฐ We just wrapped up filming episode 9 & we are prepping to shoot the 10th (and final) episode. In season 1, I got to meet my interdimensional doppelgรคngers & explore the vast fantasy world of my novels. I can't wait to unleash this wacky show upon the world! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

This is surreal! For the 1st time in my entire 12y long writing career, I got fanmail! ๐Ÿซข๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ญ Thank you all for wishing me a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" today & for your many letters, plushies, Tshirts & fancy cups. Couldn't fit the "indie game posters", but those go str8 to my writing room. I am overwhelmed!๐Ÿ˜ญ

10) THE BOOK OF CHAOS (11/11) - my most successful & most complex book to date. - has 16 subplots, 9 fully-fledged fictional languages, 200+ characters, 20+ magic systems & 8 time loops (one a quintuple timeloop, the other a trifecta) - if Harry Potter was written by H.P Lovecraft & Sanderson.๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š
