Thank you all for the warm welcome, it's nice to be made to feel at home despite the impersonal nature of the internet.
I've glanced at a few links a few of you have provided, well let me tell you, quite a few of you have the literary knack and I'm very impressed! Unfortunately, I'm unable to provide links to my work, only my poetry is on offer at this time, however I am currently working on my first novel, and there is no doubt in my mind that I will need all the tips and advice that may aid my forward momentum. Trust me to pick an endeavor that involves a massive learning curve!
