Greetings, dear visitor,

Welcome to my official site. I’m a Finnish writer, composer, podcaster, and translator.

• In June 2022 I published my first collection of poetry, Land of Youth & Beauty: Early Poems. See below for a unique video presentation of this book.

• In May 2022 I released my first album of music, Passages Dark and Light.

• In February 2022 I published my first collection of short stories, At Dawn: Early Short Stories.

• In May 2021 I published my first book of sheet music: An Iceland Symphony, Op. 1: A Theatrical Symphony for All Ages.

• I’ve published a few other kinds of books as well — see the Writing page for details.

• I have a podcast called What Now with Simo — check out the Podcast page for more on that. It’s in many places, including the hosting site RSS.com, Spotify, Amazon, and Apple Podcasts.

• I’ve written for several story-oriented computer games, including the psychological horror hit Serena, whose download count is now in the millions. 

• My other current projects include screenplays, stage plays, and lots more music.

• You can connect with me on any of the social media whose icons appear below.

• The Links page is a portal to some further beautiful things beyond this site.

Thank you for visiting. May you find beauty, magic, and meaning more often than not.
