Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the absolute write forums, and just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm 35, married and live in Queens, NY. I'm a journalist by trade and am actively looking to secure an agent to help me promote my debut novel, FINDERS KEEPERS, which is a little bit different.

It's loosely based on a backpacking trip I took through Europe, set against a mad dash for a jar that may or may not contain the essence of the universe ...

Anyway, just wanted to say hey and get myself rolling here. Looking forward to getting to you know guys.

Hi Freckles,

What kind of journalist are you? I'm now the Executive Editor for a twice-monthly commercial real estate magazine. Before that I was in health and medical publishing for about 10 years.
