I'm Jeff

JChandlerOates · May 26, 2013

I just joined. My screen name comes from two of my favorite authors - Raymond Chandler and Joyce Carol Oates.

I write lots of different types of things. My novels have included a Fantasy/Paranormal element. Most of my short stories are set in the real world, but somehow a blood spatter often occurs. My plays are pretty mainstream, both comedies and drama. My poems, other than those stuck into my fantasy novels, are typically for my eyes only.

I hope to find a writing/critique partners, eventually.

Hi, Jeff! I heartily approve of the occasional blood splatter.

Welcome. There's nothing wrong with a good blood splatter (as long as it's fictional).

Thanks Again!

Thanks for the info, however, I tend to only read directions once something is broken.
