I just joined the other day. I am Jayda Haley (pen name) and I'm in my late 50's. I hail from Ontario, Canada. I just started writing about 3 years ago, initially for an adult (not porn) site. I had good feedback and was enjoying it, so I continued. I'm a big animal lover, esp horses and dogs, but due to my health and mobility issues, I do not have any pets at the time. Believe it or not, I am not a big reader. I used to be, many years go, but it fell by the wayside when I bought a computer. I do read the odd book online, but I'm more into writing. Other interests are debating, playing Scrabble and I'm addicted to Facebook! I was a member of another writing community that deleted it's forums and have been looking for a replacement ever since. I liked what I saw here at AbsoluteWrite so I signed up. I look forward to being a member here.
