Welcome to fiikus
I am Maija Haavisto, a Finnish writer living in the Netherlands. Here you will find a variety of material reflecting me and my interests, including prose, medical articles, ASCII art, photography and vegetarian recipes.
4th January
Not much to update now, except that I finally remembered to add the only ASCII picture I drew last year. Next update should include more stuff, including a yummy vegan recipe, the final photos from last year and finally my sociomedical essay collection which I recently finished after working on it for over seven years.
6th December
My medical textbook is out now and I have an info page in English now, too. I also have no less than three contests now, where you can win that book, my novel or the English version of my CFS/ME/fibromyalgia treatment book. The first two close on the 20th, the third one on the 22nd of December.
9th November
My medical textbook isn't out yet, but it's website (with a blog) is. And after many delays my debut novel Marian ilmestyskirja (information in English) was finally published a few weeks ago. I also got a nice grant for the new novel I am working on now, first in NaNoWriMo and then of course editing. It's quite a blast when after 20+ years your childhood dreams finally come true!
