Her short stories have been published in magazines and anthologies, and they have won several Atorox awards. Her science fiction novels, such as Viivamaalari (The Line Painter) and Ilottomien ihmisten kylä (The Village), have received considerable critical acclaim, as has the trilogy she wrote in collaboration with Eija Lappalainen, Routasisarukset (The Frost Siblings).
