Hello (I can never really come up with a fun title for introduction threads!)

Hello,

I've been looking at this site for a few days and it seems nice enough. As far as things you should know, I'm a patriotic Brit with a keen interest in writing (mostly Sci-Fi and Fantasy) and I rarely ever get anything completed (I likely have a novel's worth of first chapters).

I wouldn't say I'm a good writer but, out of everything, writing's the think I'm the least bad at.

As far as my political views go (yes, Oliver Cromwell is a hero of mine), I might get a few people's backs up so I'll keep it out of my posts unless its of critical importance (which I doubt it ever will be).

Feel free to ask questions.

Thanks

Hi! I've been to England a few times, have family there. The food is GREAT. English chocolate, the best in the world. And that little bakery shop makes heavenly cakes...

I was going to write Fantasy about Louisiana politics, but decided the truth is more interesting and unbelievable than anything I could write about them. So I decided to stick with Thriller/Mystery.

Welcome to AW.
