Hi, I'm Wes. I'm working on a thriller set in a college town in the southern US. I hope to learn a lot from the forum.

Nice to meet you, Wes. I'm a serious fan of thrillers. Who do you like to read? I like Harlan Coben's stand-alones, Andrew Klaven, some Jeffery Deaver.

Maryn, glad you're here

Thanks Maryn. I do love to read. James Lee Burke is my favorite author, and I enjoy Ace Atkins, John Sandford, Randy Wayne White, C.J. Box, Craig Johnson, and many others.

I'm glad I found this forum, as it appears to have a lot to offer.

Thanks all. Is there a way to get rid of the stack of advertisements at the top of every page? I realize the site requires sponsors, but I'd like to reduce the pile if possible.

Welcome.

You might want to check on an ad blocking add-on for whatever browser you are using.

Welcome. You definitely can learn a lot here. You might start by checking out the Learn Writing with Uncle Jim threads. Or you can stop by Share Your Work to see some critiques and learn from them.
