I've visited this site many times and now, since I am very close to seeing my first book published (OK, an e-book), it is time I signed up. It's historical fiction and will be the first in a series of novella-length pieces set in the Aegean.

I had a bad experience with an "editor" which has delayed things somewhat, but I am past that now. I do plan on posting information about the person and the problems I had over on the Bewares, Recommendations & Background checks sub-forum. Perhaps others can learn/benefit from my experience. Sorry if this sounds like a bit of a downer but I'm still struggling to get over it. Other than that, I'm really an optimistic, happy person!

Greetings and welcome to the watercooler :welcome:

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.
