Get to know Ville...
Birthdate?
1989
When did you start writing?
At around age 16-17
When and what and where did you first get published?
In early 2016 I found a website asking for exactly 200 word flash stories. I wrote a draft directly into an email, sent it, and sold it for $2 a few days later. I bought a lollipop and a bus ticket with the payment.
What themes do you like to write about?
Contrary to the poet in "Eye of the Nightingale," I am all about the depressive stuff. Also oceans, trees, and winter.
