Mika Paananen

Biography

Mika Paananen lives in Finland Proper with wife and a furry ball loaded with razor blades called 'Ace'. Born 1965 and having been engineering in computer and telecommunications industry as well as in mediawork, writer has an extremely dim view of current world, which makes the research and writing of the past much easier and, what's best, funnier. Besides, nothing beats reading of Sir Walter Scott, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, M.R.James, Roald Dahl and others, in convenient weather and chair in sunny backyard. And why not inside during the thunderstorms. For balancing those mentioned, the works of Sir Terry Pratchett come handy.
This writer has declared that he refuses to grow up.
