Introduce Yourself!
Hi Christine,Many thanks for your welcome. I've looked at your profile. Good for you! You know I wrote a free booklet that shows kids how to write their first fantasy (or any) short story. It was taken up by schools nationwide in Ireland. Would this be useful to you?
It's available at a click on my website www.frankpryan.com. Alternatively, if you gave me an e-mail address, I could mail it on to you.
Best wishes,
Secret Admirer will be going for free here (Kindle exclusive) from 10/25-10/29/2012 for those that want to check out my writing. I appreciate any reviews you guys can spare.

I'll try writing just about anything though.Come say hi at NicolasWilson.com!

Welcome new authors and readers!
Hello Everyone! Introduced myself in the fantasy genre file, and then noticed this one. Just getting the hang of things - what a fabulous community! I am Roberta Trahan, author of THE WELL OF TEARS (The Dream Stewards,Book One) which was recently released through 47north - Amazon Publishing's new SF/Fantasy imprint. My first series is a post-Arthurian epic fantasy saga wherein a sorceress confronts a festering evil seeking to destroy her order and its magical legacy.
You can keep up with me via my GR Author page: Roberta Trahan
Looking forward to connecting with other authors, and of course, readers!

I write Fantasy Romance with a twist and recommend my writing to readers 18 and older.
I am really new to this so for now I will just say HI! I hope to meet lots of new people on this forum!
Hi All!I'm am an amateur writer (hopefully my self publishing will push that to a higher status) and an amateur reader.
I just uploaded my first Kindle ebook to Amazon about a month ago, titled 'Onyx Plague'
I mostly stick to fantasy but I enjoy a fast paced story with action and/or adventure (contemporary more so than Sci/Fi. I plan on writing similar books, beginning with Fantasy.
I'm an accountant, more for practical reasons. I choose accounting in college thinking I could start writing when I got around to it, knowing that it would be hard to learn businesses with a degree in English! I have also spent a lot of time programing.
Anyway, I'm trying to be active in the Social Media so here are a few links:

I thought you might like to read the following blurb about my latest thriller, SHELL GAME:Yes, He Can!
Once again Joseph Badal has proved himself a thriller author above the ordinary cut. Some may think it impossible to write a convincing (and exciting) novel about the recent bank implosions and real estate market collapse, but Joe has both the chops in investment banking and the narrative skill of a polished suspense author to pull off this difficult feat. Just as he excels at international intrigue, readers owe it to themselves to see how effectively and realistically he portrays greed, intrigue, and violence within the United States and inside institutions we’ve long trusted.
Few if any other authors would have the platform to attempt a novel like this. It’s a high dive for anyone to try, but Joe Badal scores a “10” with this judge.
--Rob Kresge, author of the Warbonnet historical mysteries and former CIA senior analyst
