Hi everyone. Hope you're all having good days. My name is Joseph but I write under Abraham. My full name is shared by a Catholic minister who happens to be published. I tried a couple of other names, like my great grandfather's, but it turns out he was an under boss in Capone's mob. Who knew? I finally settled on Abraham since it's my middle name. So you can call me Shel, or Joe, or Abe, or whatever variation you like. I'm looking forward to being a part of the AW community. I like to write but, beyond a very basic "this is good," I have zero understanding of the quality if my work. Feedback is awesome, and these forums seem to be inhabited by a lot of talented and insightful people. It should be fun :)

:welcome:, Shel-Joe-Abe.

I also have name confusion as my parents named me Charles but my older deaf sister named me Chase, because it's an ASL word and I chased after my big brother and uncles on the farm.

So you can call me Chase or you can finger-spell it like my avatar or you sign it by one thumb-up chasing the other:

Have fun here!
