Hi, all. My name is Lamar Henderson. I'm writing to you now from snowy Columbia, Missouri.
I've been writing stories pretty much since I learned to write. For quite some time, though, the dreaded Real Life has interfered with writing. A couple of years ago, I sat myself down and decided to get serious about my work.
Currently, I'm shopping around a mystery novel that I've been working on and off with since the first draft sprang out in 1998. As it happens, this is a novel that has already been accepted by two different publishers. The first one just sort of stopped responding to my emails. The second one — well, that's a story shared elsewhere on this site. So, now, I'm looking for a third publisher to say yes, and maybe this time it will stick.
Although my current book is a mystery, I'm actually more inclined to work in science fiction, fantasy and horror. It's just that those genres are harder to craft, for some reason; my first fantasy novel took me seven years to finish.
So, I'm here to meet other writers, check out whatever information anyone wants to share to help me along, and share whatever of value that I've learned with anyone interested.
Thanks.
