Hello,

I'm new here and thought I would drop in to see what this forum is all about and to introduce myself to those people who might not know me.
I'm an author of "Cruel Deception" published by Publish America. In addition, I am a Feature Writer for a large Child Abuse Prevention site on the web at: www.childabuse.com.

Other than writing, my interests include hobbies of various sorts, and enjoying the fresh air - at least when we have it around here. I am married and have a spoiled rotten cat, who believes she too is human. Her name is Abby.

I recognize many of you here on this forum and hope I might offer some contribution of sorts from time to time.

Hi Brew, D.K. and Carol,

It is so nice to see the three of you and I want to thank you for the warm welcome. I can see already this is a nice, friendly place - almost a feeling of "down home."

It will take me a little bit to get used to this forum and do some searching around. I hope all of you are having fun and maybe getting in some writing too.

Hi Zada, Don, Marie and Shelagh,

Thanks for more of those warm welcomes coming in. I'm starting to see where it is easy to navigate around here and I'm enjoying reading many of the posts. I'll be doing a Profile page and digging up a recent picture of myself I can stomach to look at.

Ahh gee, folks, I just don't know what to say. I'll have to dig deep before I post a recent photo of me. If you don't mind, I'll post that worn out one I've been using until I can get my husband to take a decent pic of me. lol
I just hate having my picture taken...especially at this age! It's nice to see ya all. Now, off to that Profile Page if I can find it. I know...I'm still blonde and kickin'Hi Everyone 572534

Hi Betty,

I left a message on PA's Board for the gruesome trio, almost the size of one of my articles. I bet it is still not still there this morning.Razz It is good to see you here. I like being here so much more!

Love,

Joy

Hi Alice,

Thank you for welcoming me! I'm starting to love this place - I'm trying to upload some photos to my own website, but when I get this task finished, I will return and start browsing and posting on the many threads that look so interesting.
Thanks again for your welcome! If you should like to join Facebook, I would love for us to become friends on there, unless you are already a member. It's fun too!

Facebook is a fun place. I've learned all sorts of things there. I learned that my daughter's church was locked down tonight because there was a hostage situation at a convenience store close by. And I looked at pictures put there by my cousin's wife and found my dear aunt holding little children and smiling and got choked up about that. And my friend's son found me to tell me his mom was ill. And I've connected with all sorts of people with the last name of Troestler, and some I even know how I am related to them.

It is a fun place.

Carol

PostSubject: Re: Hi Everyone   Hi Everyone EmptySat May 02, 2009 9:04 pm

I agree that it is a fun place, Carol. I have found distant cousins (the Winfrees) on Facebook, as well as a good friend I worked with a long time ago at Fox. And, what's real exciting is that I found two long-lost girlfriends who I went to elementary school with and that's hard to do when we females change our last name due to marriage.

I'm so hooked on that Mafia Wars game, and my cousin, Randy is our "family" leader in it right now. But he has to watch out as I have scooted right up behind him, and hope to take the lead of the "family". It sounds crazy, but it is fun.

I'm attempting to upload pictures on some of my sites and I think my eyes are crossing. I even have my reading glasses on, but they're starting to blur. I suppose I should just stop and give it a rest. Hope to be writing a new novel soon. I started 4 novels (one historical) and 3 others, all in third person, but I just can't zero in on one novel and stick with it. I'm guessing I don't have a real storyline yet that is jumping right out of me.

I hope you are continuing with your writing. I love historical novels, and I admire Philippa Gregory, Kathleen Winsor and Penny Vincenzi so much. Now, if I could write like them, I would be thrilled. Are you familar with any of them?

Good to chat with you.

Hi Betty and Everyone Else,

I have an announcement to make and I am almost down-right proud of it. In all the years on Publish America board, I can proudly announce that I have finally been banned from there. It is time to celebrate. Join in with me, please, in the celebration. I guess I really am a naughty girl.Shocked
