i wanted to write something witty for my introductory post ... and nothing came. ah well. perhaps in time.
hi, i'm Bobby. i'm an unpublished novelist, paying my dues, getting rejected, being miserable about it, and attacking the page anyway. i've lurked on the site a bit since i stumbled across it while googling agents.
i was a newspaper reporter/editor for about 15 years, so it's quite a transition to go from seeing my byline daily to being rejected out of hand by agents and editors. i've had some success in small/regional presses with my short stories, so hopefully it's a matter of time and not talent.
i love to read. some favorites: Donald Westlake (in all his incarnations), Robert B. Parker, John D. MacDonald, Meg Gardiner, Hemingway, Jim Butcher, Stephen King, Fitzgerald ...
nice to be here. hope i can add to the discussion.
if you're inclined, you can read some of my work at my website.
