Irish Umbrella: July 2012
http://markusahonen.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thoughts and observations by Ireland-based Finnish Journalist and Writer Markus Ahonen. Thursday, July 26, 2012. Author George Bernard Shaw. Once mentioned Dubrovnik in present Croatia being a heaven on Earth. I don't know if he was ever particularly literally inspired by the place. I can imagine it probably gave him inspirational power just like some other places for people, especially artists, writers, composers. Works But would deserve it. To give space for evening concerts as the crowd gathered toget...

Irish Umbrella: For Those Not With Us Anymore
http://markusahonen.blogspot.com/2013/01/for-those-not-with-us-anymore.html
Thoughts and observations by Ireland-based Finnish Journalist and Writer Markus Ahonen. Sunday, January 27, 2013. For Those Not With Us Anymore. When I was young, some sad news came time to time about guys my age. People I knew or had known. In the same neighbourhoods and suburbs where we grew up. Sometimes I wondered what it was about that age. Guys. Sudden growth in mortality rate. Unfortunately, sometimes the memories come through with sorrow. Some stories were sad in different ways. Because of ju...

Thoughts and observations by Ireland-based Finnish Journalist and Writer Markus Ahonen. Sunday, February 9, 2014.

Was again selected to Apple Finland iBookstore Best of 2013 catalog. This time in category: Most sold: Fiction. (The English version of the e-book is here. My Hometown Named Love.

Irish Umbrella: The Dim Light of Relativity
http://markusahonen.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-dim-light-of-relativity.html
Thoughts and observations by Ireland-based Finnish Journalist and Writer Markus Ahonen. Tuesday, January 22, 2013. The Dim Light of Relativity. Still, when the week ended, we got to go back to the base. Got off on the weekend holidays. I probably slept in my warm bed for most of the weekend. Took it all back. At least I had the possibility. I never complained again. When I was in Under Officer School we were brought to different neighbourhoods from the base to collect money from door to door to disabled ...

Irish Umbrella: October 2012
http://markusahonen.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts and observations by Ireland-based Finnish Journalist and Writer Markus Ahonen. Monday, October 1, 2012. Yesterday I was on my way home from my son's soccer match when I opened the browser in my mobile phone. Saw a notification on my Facebook profile. An old friend from Finland had posted a screen catch on my profile timeline. Finnish iBooks front page. Showing my debut novel Meduusa. As the first one in section Thrillers. For my surprise Meduusa was at # 2. I nearly got a heart attack. The o...

Irish Umbrella: August 2012
http://markusahonen.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts and observations by Ireland-based Finnish Journalist and Writer Markus Ahonen. Saturday, August 4, 2012. I believe anyone who has ever experienced finishing a big process, knows what a great feeling putting the dot to it is. Finishing it fully. Maybe years of work. For a creative person it's a huge point to come to. Letting something you created go. See the pile of papers, whatever you've been working on for months, maybe years, right there. Letting the script go in the first place is a bigger t...

Irish Umbrella: February 2013
http://markusahonen.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thoughts and observations by Ireland-based Finnish Journalist and Writer Markus Ahonen. Monday, February 4, 2013. Nordic Crime Fiction Wave Could Grab Finland. But I have to admit: I do have a strong interest in researching and writing about crime, diving into existential or slightly philosophical questions of life and death. As one of my true literary influences, Matti Yrjänä Joensuu. It still doesn't come as a surprise that after being a passionate researcher of these dark themes, some of the feedback ...

Irish Umbrella: Reviewers' Duel
http://markusahonen.blogspot.com/2014/05/reviewers-duel.html
Thoughts and observations by Ireland-based Finnish Journalist and Writer Markus Ahonen. Wednesday, May 21, 2014. My third crime-themed novel Jäljet. Was published in mid-April as an e-book in Finnish. As hoped, book reviewers have been active. Reviews have been mostly very good. This third Isaksson series. Novel has been complimented of having ”a strong narrative text, for being descriptive and engaging”. The things I've been seeking for in my writing have also been found. One reader has a problem with m...
