Hello to all. My name is Kevin J. Howard and I'm very glad to be a member.1.) I read my first Stephen King novel in fifth grade. My teacher thought it was odd to have a book report on Salem’s Lot, but had to do it.
2.) I once wrote a complete outline to a novel on the back of register tape while working at a calendar kiosk.
3.) Unable to stop writing. It's an addiction. I hand wrote my first novel when I was ten. Not the best story, but it was a good start.
I want to wish us all the best in everything we do.

Kevin, my daughter read Stephen King in second grade--a twelve part novella he wrote to go along with months of a calendar. (It was called Silver Bullet then, but they changed the title) The teacher had each kid write to her favorite author, and Robyn wrote to King. She's one of the few students who got a reply--on stationary with the picture of dripping blood on each side. She has it framed on her study's wall now.
Yeah, I was pretty surprised. The kids who wrote to children's authors didn't get anything back. King said that it was wonderful that she loved to read and that maybe someday, she'd even become a writer, like him.
Do you have a new e-reader yet? Did you ever get the Kobo you won?
Mod
Bummer. You'd think they'd stock kobo.com before they stocked anything else. Will they send you one if and when they get any more kobos? But you're still reading a lot of books, aren't you?
Mod
I'm thinking it must be expensive to get it imported. Cost prohibitive?

Hello!My name is Candy Crum. I'm 27 years old and live in Southern Indiana with my husband and two kiddos.
I'm the author of The Eternal Series (The Eternal Gift, Eternally Forsaken, and The Eternal Echo)and I LOVE to read though I dont get much time for it anymore!
I'm currently reading 50 Shades of Gray (let's all put on our shocked faces!) and I'm working on an Erotic novel of my own that will be a spin off of my other series.
If anyone else has any other questsions, just feel free to ask!!
Mod
Hi, Candy! I live in northeast Indiana--we're almost neighbors.
Thanks for the warm welcome!!! :D Most appreciated!And Judith, thats always interesting to me when I meet someone close! I flipped when I found out another author/friend Rue Volley lived in Indy!! haha. She's moved to Ohio now I believe - so no more cool claims to that one. But its always fun meeting other people from the area!
Indiana's a long state, but glad you're in its boundaries.

I liked the name myself...I guess the first step is to establish what you think the name isn't reflecting, maybe.

I liked the name too--just a way to say "hi there," but I never really thought about it either. I leave that to you guys.
Mod
Aaah, I was just thinking of it as a friendly hello, but you're always thinking of connecting readers and writers. I see where you're coming from, and that's trickier. Maybe "Meet & Greet--for authors and readers to mingle"? I'm not good at naming stuff.
Well, you could make the connection more explicit with something like, "Making Connections: Nexus". Maybe that's too big, though.Maybe I just like colons too much. :)

Mod
I guess editors prefer dashes to colons these days, so maybe healthy colons are passe.

Hi everyone! 1.I'm a crazy Saggitarius ( very sarcastic too:P)
2. I'm studying English Litterature.
3. I'm trying to write my own stories but I always leave them halfway (I'm just bored very easily!)
So,that's for me..!
Hope you find a story that demands to be written. Good luck with English Lit--American or British novels or both?
Mod
Both actually:) Litterature's my favorite subject, hope I won't be disappointed! Greetings to your sis!!! :)
