4. An Interesting fact about myself:
Oh gosh, well as you can see above, my favorite kinds of books were always murder mysteries. I read the complete JD Robb In Death series in about six months a few years ago. And yet somehow, I ended up writing a romantic comedy. Still makes me laugh!

message 256: by Jonnathan (new)

Jonnathan Strawthorne | 4 comments Hello:

My name is Jonnathan Strawthorne. I live between Switzerland and the Republic of Panama. I love writing alternate historical science fiction, horror science fiction. historical fiction and time travel science fiction.

I have read books from many of the masters such as Asimov, Heinlein, J.R.R. Tolkien, Tolstoy, Pushkin and Stephen King. They have definitely inspired me to put my hand to the keyboard to write.

I have a new book published. Please see the link below:
The Causality of Time

I have an overactive imagination hence I love writing because I can lose myself in the stories and characters. As a child I was constantly in trouble because of my day dreaming subsequently today I am extremely happy that I can day dream all I want and not get into any difficulties. In fact I get paid to do it! How wonderful is that?

Anyways I suppose some of you here may identify to a certain degree with what I have said and I look forward to many interesting and fruitful discussions in the future.

B.A. A. Mealer | 975 comments My name is Barbara but I write under B.A. Mealer
I write romance but can't seem to stick to one subcategory. My first book is a suspense. The second one will be either a sweet or another suspense.
Abilene will be my first book to come out but I have to finish the last proof.
Hmm...Interesting fact about me. Let's make it a couple. I'm over 65, retired and ran away from home to see the USA using a trike pulling a trailer and camping. I brought along my laptop to write and have been having a great time. Right now, I'm holing up in Arizona to do research and earn more money to continue my trip.

Hey Lister, please read the rules before posting. A bookwhack is a link to your book saying, "Check it out!" or inserting your book into a conversation about other books. Most of us are authors on the board here after all.
