At 61 years of age, I don't have as great a luxury of time to experiment with things as I did when I was 21. Because of that, I tend to see involvements and experiences that yield results on a less protracted timeline. For those criteria, and others, I decided to join Mythic Scribes in the...

To Legendary Sidekick, Hiya! Ogunquit is WAY south of where we are - we're up the coast about midway in a town called Belfast, on Penobscot Bay. It's a good whale-watching area with seals and the occasional shark (likely out for a swim after closing their attorney's offices for the day, I...

Awww... Thank you all for the kind words! I have several WIP (works in progress?) and hope to post various fragments to get responses and suggestions. The first item, entitled 'Shapeshifter,' will be an urban fantasy that involves elements of espionage and mystery where the main character...

Thank you for the welcome, Cup of Joe! I'm hoping to find new friends, learn to write better and share what I have - speaking in a literary perspective, of course!

Hi Karelys, I really like your work and several elements from the pieces you've displayed IO have envisioned for a cover on a work I'm engaged in. I hope to correspond with you, 'down the road,' as they say, when I near completion. Again, your work is beauthiful and has an ethereal quality to...

Hiya Laeli! I'm a *newbie* too... Thinking of 'hard-boiled' mysteries in a fantasy genre, may I suggest 'The Dresden Files' which is about a mortal detective among some VERY strange creatures in the Raymond Chandler-style. Also the 'Drood' series by Simon R. Green - mysteries with wierdies and...

Hiya! I'm *new* too - seems like a neat place, eh?

LOVE the intro! I'm a newbie, joined today and YOURS is the first post I've read... Yep, I think I'll like this place! :cool:

Hiya! I've long been a reader of fantasy works, starting with Tolkien, lo those many years ago and many other authors including H.P. Lovecraft and Steven King, although these latter two authors scared the living bejesus out of me! Read 'The Shining' in one night, up in Hanover, N.H. - my ex...
