Well, been posting here a couple of days, and mostly wanted to take the time to say "thank you!" to everyone for the interesting, enlightening, and entertaining discussion. Some great thinkers here. =)
So, I'm Kevin. Published a couple of short fiction bits back in the 90s, won a regional award for a fantasy short back then. Co-wrote a book Wordware put out. Sorta realized that a career in writing was going to be more than a little rough, and moved on to other things for a while.
Just got back in casually a few years ago, but the whole "getting published" thing is sort of in my blood. So when I started hearing about the whole indie-digital revolution late last summer, it piqued my interest and got me doing research. What I saw made me even more interested, so I've been steadily working at getting my writing back up to professional grade ever since.
First book (urban fantasy, but no vampires!) coming out this month. More to follow.
It's a pretty amazing time to be writing, with all the options open for folks. Exciting stuff. A little scary, too, but exciting!
Anyway, glad to be here, and having fun chatting with you all, so again - thanks!
