Welcome to the Cooler!

Welcome

Greetings and welcome to the watercooler

Take a wander around the various forums, there's lots to see and lots to learn, and even some fun threads too. Come along and pop on over to the Traditional Irish Pub (at the top of the Newbie forum) and say hi, there's plenty of friendly faces that you can chat with and lots of banter. There's also the Question of the Day threads at the top of the Newbie forum where you can answer random questions.

Don't forget to read the newbie guide, and if you want to know what all the buttons mean check out this thread.

Welcome to the forums! Quite a list of achievements...glad to have you here!

Always glad to welcome another Virginian. Welcome aboard mate...

Hi, my name is L. R. Giles. I've heard great things about the Absolute Write forums and I wanted to participate, so here I am.

Brief background: I've been writing for more than 20 years with a few pro credits to my name. My fantasy novel The Darkness Kept was a Top 10 finalist in the 2009 Tor UK and SciFi Now “War of the Words” competition. I am a recipient of the 2006-2007 Virginia Commission for the Arts Fiction Fellowship. And, I’m a three-time contributor to the Dark Dreams anthology series edited by author Brandon Massey for Kensington Publishing (Dark Dreams, 2004; Voices from the Other Side, 2006; Whispers in the Night, 2007).

I'm hoping to make some new friends and contribute to discussions whenever possible. I look forward to whatever comes next...
