Hi All,
My name is Franz Mclaren and I am glad to find a forum with other fantasy authors and fans.
I have been writing for as long as I can remember. Although much of my earlier stuff was done with pencil on yellow lined paper before I learned the alphabet. Hopefully some of that will survive to drive future archeologists crazy.
A few weeks ago I published the eighth and final volume of my "Clarion of Destiny" series on Smashwords.com. Although it was completed a few years ago, it took nealy nine months to edit and publish. Now, although I am getting four and five star reviews, and sales are exceeding my wildest expectations, I am also learning that editing is not my strongest trait. So I am in the midst of having an editor review them and republish with (hopefully) all errors removed.
For the next few months I plan on trying to recapture a personal life, writing only when the muse refuses to let me rest unmolested. Which happens at least every few days. I look forward to getting to know as many of you as I can on this site. As an older, former Marine, I rarely run into people that share my love of fantasy.
Have a great Independence Day weekend,
Franz
