Hi, I'm Jason Vanhee, I've self pubbed a few things and sold one to Henry Holt and, with the kind agreement of my husband, decided to go to full time writing in a couple months. A little nervous about quitting the day job, but sometimes you just have to leap. Just read about this place for the many-th time and decided I should finally sign up.

Wow. Big leap! I hope you have planned financially for this change. Writing is a business. Like any business, it could take you a couple years to begin making profit. Go in with your eyes open. :)

Welcome to the board!

Thank you, everyone. I've been so busy doing writing I've slacked off on stopping by, but that's good, right?
