Hello Everyone, my name is Leslie, and this is my first
post.
I thought I would start out by introducing myself and
telling you why I am here. Yes … you
guessed it! I am a baby author (working
on my own book) with big dreams and trying to learn the “in’s and out’s” of the
business. Blogging, posting, writing,
reviewing (I get that) and publishing. I
have only just learned how to publish a few of the things I’ve written onto www.wattpad.com .
So who am I besides
someone full of admiration for the Indie author and grateful for the
company of the group of talented individuals I have come into contact with in
this community?
Well, I am a mother and stepmother of three. I have been married 13 years to a great
guy. I have 6 grandchildren. Yet I am still very young at heart! My career was in capital case appellate
prosecution. Fancy- Schmansy for a Government
Legal Assistant. I researched, typed,
proofread and edited legal briefs in cases that border on the paranormal! However, I gave that up when circumstances in
my life changed and I had to help raise grandchildren. When the kiddies were old enough, I needed to
work (a housewife I am not). So … I
studied and got a degree from GIA in jewelry, and worked for a jewelry repair
shop. A hobby job, if you will.
But I always wanted to write.
I always wanted to be involved in the writing community.
“Why?” you ask?
Because I had authors in the family I was proud of and wanted to follow
in their footsteps. For those that are
curious, I am the niece of David and
Leigh Eddings, of “The Belgariad”
series; “The Mallorean” series; “The Elenium” series; and the list goes
on and on. They wrote in the
Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre. They are both gone
now, but their books are still popular.
You can still find them on Amazon HERE
and in the bookstores, as well. I still
remember getting advanced copies to read for them, signed, and thinking…’THIS
is what I want to do. I want to fill my
life with magic and adventure and share it with everyone.’
So I hope you will all enjoy my reviews and my posts and
will be patient with the newbie while she learns. I want to talk about the books I read and the
television series’ I love and get your feedback also!
Last but certainly not least, I want to thank Patti Roberts
for believing in me and encouraging me! She is truly brilliant. I adore everything about her, from her
personality and compassion to her phenomenal writing!
SEE YOU SOON !!
And if it’s not soon enough…you can follow me HERE.
I look forward to hearing from all you authors out there and, If you have enjoyed reading this post, please take a moment to share it with your friends on Facebook, twitter or re post! Comments welcomed in the box below.
