I'm a member of other forums, but looking for one with focus more on my genres - mystery, crime, thriller. Been writing seriously since the mid-1980's, wrote 3 P.I. novels, none of which impressed the editors/agents. However, I've written a lot of short stories and poems, several of which were published. I'm 73 and retired, but still determined to keep writing. Unfortunately real life keeps getting in the way. Right now caregiver to an ailing wife, so I'm writing a little at a time - focusing on short stories, poetry and some non-fiction. However, I do have three other novels in a state what-do-I-do-next. I'll admit to be crotchety and opinionated, but have a wicked (often corny) sense of humor.
Look forward to meeting everyone.
And Porlock, in case anyone wonders, is a Sherlock Holmes character.

Looks like the geezers are coming out of the woodwork to welcome you. I turn 72 in two weeks. Having cared for my elderly mother for a long time, I can appreciate your devotion. Glad you are living up to your marriage vows of "in sickness and in health." Bless you, and good luck with the writing.
