Esikoisromaani oli jo tuolloin työn alla, mutta tarvittiin puutarhurin opinnot ja pätkätyöt niin yrttitarhan opaskierrosten vetäjänä kuin hautaustoimiston apulaisenakin, sekä lyhyt ura käsityöläisyrittäjänä ja pidempi kotiäitiys ennen kuin aika oli kypsä Uniin piirretylle polulle.

Suurimmat sysäykset kirjan toteutumiselle ovat jäljitettävissä Oriveden Opistoon, Mikkelin Kirjoittajiin ja MTV3:n Suureen Seikkailuun. Waris asuu Ristiinassa 100-vuotiaassa puutalossa. Uusperheeseen kuuluu 4-7 lasta ja 2 koiraa. Hänen sydäntään lähellä ovat maatiaiskasvit, kansanperinne, remontointi, rock-musiikki ja leivonna

Tove Jansson

Tove Jansson was born and died in Helsinki, Finland. As a Finnish citizen whose mother tongue was Swedish, she was part of the Swedish-speaking Finns minority. Thus, all her books were originally written in Swedish.

Although known first and foremost as an author, Tove Jansson considered her careers as author and painter to be of equal importance.

Tove Jansson wrote and illustrated her first Moomin book, The Moomins and the Great Flood (1945), during World War II. She said later that the war had depressed her, and she had wanted to write something naive and innocent. Besides the Moomin novels and short stories, Tove Jansson also wrote and illustrated four original and highly popular picture books.

Jansson's Moomin books have been translated in

Johanna Sinisalo

ENG: Johanna Sinisalo is an award-winning Finnish author. She was born in Sodankylä in 1958. During 1984-1997, she worked as a professional designer in advertising, after which she started as a screenwriter and writer. Sinisalo's first novel, Troll, won the Finlandia prize, the most important literature award in Finland. As her hobbies, Sinisalo mentions astronomy, gastronomy, hiking, literature and comics.

The author notes that her novels always feature a bit of the small everyday reality. However, overcoming the borders of realism does not mean that the author's works were to be classified as sci-fi or fantasy – from Sinisalo's point of view, categorizing literature by genre should be left behind.

Iida Turpeinen

Iida Turpeinen is a Helsinki-based literary scholar currently writing a dissertation on the intersection of the natural sciences and literature. As an author, she is intrigued by the literary potentials of scientific research and by the offbeat anecdotes and meanderings from the history of science. Her debut novel, Beasts of the Sea (2023) was praised immediately upon its release as a world-class work, one that brings together a lost world and living literature: for it, she won the Helsingin Sanomat Literature Prize, the Thank You For the Book Prize, and was nominated for the Finlandia Prize and the Torch-bearer Prize in Finland and the Premio Strega Europeo in Italy, among others.
