We are so happy and thrilled and awaiting our little one in appr. 2,5 month give and takeAnd yeah, we know what it will be but let´s keep that open until the baby is out;=)
My manager tells me that we will finally be able to get a deal with my own book about my years in Nightwish. I´ve kept a diary throughout the years and now it seems like we will be able to make my very very own bookdeal;=)

Excuse me if I am indiscreet, but this is probably the second or third time when I notice this in your posts and I cannot help to feel really sad. Was your Nw departure connected with the fact that you were pregnant? This would be probably more horrible than absolutely any other scenario we could imagine... and so sick and unfair.I wish you a really really nice day with your little treasures. <3"
"Iona: Hi! Yes, it was due to me getting pregnant. Take care now;=)"
Yesterday I went to the studio and me and Niclas had 3 hours of working on a song to see if it´s something to use on my album. What we do now is recording lots of songs I´ve done to see if some of them is album material or not. I have many songs already but it´s always good to have lots to choose from. And I want some more up tempo songs so that´s what we record now in the coming weeks.The song yesterday is a more metal song and quite weird so it needs lot of work before I feel it´s ok, but we continue in the coming days and then we´ll decide if it´s good enough or not;=)
The song we did some days ago doesn´t feel like a keeper. It´s to weird so we move on today with the other songs so now I´m sitting listening and choosing. And also writing lyrics for a new one. It´s great to have so much to choose from!;=)
Had a great session in the studio yesterday and did 3 very fast and rough demos with only lead vocals. We do this to save time and listen to what is something to keep or to let go off directly. What´s weird with a process when making music is that one day I can dislike a song I´ve made but next day with "fresh ears" I like it again;=) haha!So today I actually LIKE the song we did some days ago. So let´s see what comes out of it in the end.
