THE CONCEPT

Looking for a slightly intellectual fun?
Look no further.

In this blog, a new original Estonian novel will appear.
A freshly grown chapter will be published every week.
It will be yours to read, enjoy and comment.

What kind of novel?
Thriller, probably. Soapy, definitely. Twisted, hopefully.
I have got no idea yet how exactly it will turn out.
Let us be surprised together.

And – from time to time – you can participate and influence how the story will develop. This option surely adds a certain degree of spontaneity.

One thing for sure: no matter how short or long this experiment will be, I promise not to finish it before tying all the storylines together with an (happy?) ending.

The scenery is – in some cases – borrowed. But the resemblance of any character to any person living or dead is pure coincidence.

There will be some experiments with certain themes and a variety of characters. If you are easily offended by whatever, then it would be better to read something else. Anyway, it is always good to remember that daily lives of most people are always a thousand times more grotesque than any fantasies.

It will be a huge challenge for me because it is my very first attempt of writing something longer in English. At the same time, it guarantees at least some fun: you can laugh at my English grammar.
