Hello all. My name is John Adrian Tomlin. I am a gamer with a B.S. in Game Art and Design. I decided to try writing since it's so hard to get into the gaming industry. I want to be a game designer.

I knew I had writing talent since the fourth grade, but I didn't pursue a career in writing until recently. Game designers are just a different kind of storytellers after all, so I knew I had a chance.

It's great to meet you all. I hope I will be accepted into the community of writers like yourselves.

My book is titled "The Imaginarium Machine." It can be found at various book stores, including Amazon.com and Barns&Noble.

I truly hope you check it out and become intrigued by the story.

Please post a link and welcome. I thought the market was wide open for writing games. Gee, they make movies from game characters....I guess like everything, it takes the right connections.

I wish I can post a link, but a rule in this forum forbids me to post any links until after seven days. The www button on the bottom links to my website, which has a link to my book.

I put my book trailer in my email signature and in my signature here. I might advise the same to you. Mine was professionally produced by the award-winning environmental filmmaker Darryl Saffer, but I think the voice over makes it so much better (like in yours). I'd like to add a voice over to mine sometime but I don't own the original.

Welcome, John. You will find this a supportive forum and a generally good place to hang out in your breaks from writing and/or coding.
