About the Author

Aatos Ilmari

Aatos Ilmari writes. He thinks he always has. He's not entirely sure, because his memory for when he started is unreliable, but the pens are always moving when he looks down, so the evidence suggests continuity.

He writes with twelve pens simultaneously, though he insists this is "not as impressive as it sounds — most of the books are unfinished, and one of them might be about fish."

The tea is always cold by the time he remembers it. He has considered this problem for — a while. The tea remains cold.

Someone asked him how many books he's written. He said twelve. They asked when they'd be finished. He said he would let them know.

He was told he should have a website. He's not entirely sure what that is, but someone made one and it has his name on it, which he finds concerning.

"I have been told I should 'engage with my audience.' I'm not sure what that means but I'm waving. Hello."
