I first experienced the thrill of authorship when, in the 1st grade, I wrote my first 'book', intitled "I lick horses." I still have trouble with spelling but I've never gotten over the feeling of excitement that comes with a new idea for a story and the enjoyment that comes from a story well told. Most of my work is still in the draft phase and will change and evolve with your helpful comments. So feel free to be as harsh or as praising as you like...what doesn't kill them will hopefully make my characters stronger.
