Hi all, I've been lurking here a few days now so thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm Sarah, 28, married to a soldier in the British army and I love to read and write. I'll read pretty much anything that's written in English but my main loves are fantasy and crime fiction.

I've been writing on and off since I was about 12 years old. Never actually finished anything so of course I've never been published but it doesn't stop me enjoying writing. I write fantasy but prefer to write from the point of view of the "evil" races because trolls, orcs, goblins etc have always fascinated me and I've not found many books written about them.

My other hobbies are cross stitch, computer games and dog training. I own a dog with some pretty severe issues and who likes to keep me humble. If he's got an audience he plays to it and knows exactly how to make them laugh while I stand there red faced as he prances around doing anything but what he should be doing.

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Welcome from another newbie! Your choice in protagonists is really interesting - fantasy is my favorite genre to read and write as well, and I'm always excited to hear about people breaking the mold.

Hello and welcome to the cooler,

Interesting take on the evil characters... good luck giving them a voice and maybe one day when you complete a novel - we'll get to here them.
