Hi everyone! I'm new here but not new to the net. Just thought I'd pop in here and introduce myself :)


I am an indie Science Fiction novelist. My first book was under contract a very long time ago and went nowhere so with all said and done I self published earlier this year, thus breaking that blockage in twain and got back to what I love - writing. I released a second in august and am happily plowing through my third!


My background is varied - I was in IT for some years, returned to university in my mid twenties and completed two degrees in Anthropology. I also spent some time as a teacher.

Now I hope to continue writing, as it is something I'd like to one day turn into my day job :) in the mean time my evenings are spent writing and its a great way of staying sane! I highly recommend it to loopy people! lol

anyway, I'll be hanging around so I'll no doubt see you all in the forums :)

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. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, 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.

Thanks for the welcome guys :) MR is fine, MRM is fine, but please not Mort. I ain't dead yet!

I spend most of my non-day-job-time writing, but I will squeeze a bit a day in here as well :D
