New information is always the best entertainment for me. My everlasting love of historý started at the elementary school at tender age of nine, when I read The 600 pages of Pocket World History, admittedly skipping the dull parts about culture... I have studied history, political history, political science and journalism in universities of Turku and Tampere, but have never graduated from neither. A brief but tempestuous political career blew the man premately to to wide world from the comforting womb of university. A more steady career in journalism followed and I have been a professional writer and journalist for the past 20 years. At present I live in a small town in a small house with a wife, two not so small teenagers, two middle-sized dogs and 14 fish of various sizes. By day I work as a journalist writing about local economy in our local newspaper. Its a job i have held for the past 17 years. In the evenings and week-ends I repair the computers of the good citizens of our little town as a private entrepreneur.
