Order of Mika Waltari Books
Mika Waltari (1908-1979) was a Finnish author, journalist, critic, poet, playwright, essayist, screenwriter, and more. He is one of the most prolific Finnish authors – having a very strict work ethic. Only a fraction of his work has been translated into English. Often after one of his books was finished, he would go into depression and sometimes need to check-in to the hospital. As Mika got older and his books sold internationally, he wrote less, as he no longer needed to write to live. (more…)

OrderOfBooks March 2023 Newsletter
Hi everyone and welcome to March!
I was hoping to send this out last night after working on it during the day but ran out of time. It did remind me of a few years ago when I sent one out late at night and received a hilarious complaint.
It wasn’t too late – around 9:30 pm EST which is where they were located. But I had someone e-mail me furious, stating that I sent the e-mail too late and “woke them up”. It’s not like I call everyone on the telephone to let them know the newsletter is in their inbox. It’s an e-mail! Is this the first ever e-mail they have received after bedtime?
