It's been a long while since I posted on these boards, or even perused them....*Sigh* :-[
Anyway, I'm now an (Electronicly) published Author! The place is the subscription site, BattleCorps http://battlecorps.com. It is the only place to get offical cannon fiction set in the Battletech Universe. Battletech itself is a game celebrating it's 25th year, and is well know for a deep and varied universe.
I've had three sort stories published so far on the site, and I'm hopeful for a fourth story. Hoppefully I can go from there..... ;)

Hello,
I am a published author, but not in what a lot of people here might read. Judging from my sales I think I can say almost everybody actually.
I wrote "Police Battalions of the Third Reich" and "SS-Polizei: Memories of Poland."
I writing two books now. "The Einsatzgruppen in the Baltic" is the working title. The other is a serial novel on my blog. It is "American Apocalypse." The first volume is being edited so I can shop it around. Now I am writing Part 2.
This is what someone else wrote:
Not sure where to post this, but lately I've been reading some pretty good doom fiction. The other day I was cruising the comments over at http://www.calculatedriskblog.com, and came across a reference to a serial novel being posted on-line. I checked it out, and found it to be quite addictive. It starts out in the not too distant future; the first couple of chapters could have been written by a contemporary homeless person today. However, the world starts shifting rapidly for the protagonist Gardner and his little band. What I find especially illuminating about the novel is the author nova's exploration of different responses to the crisis that devolves: there are the Burners who are pissed off at the system, the Tree People who are more or less primitivists, the Movers who are trying to obey the Federal Government's shifting decrees about where to go for help, etc. And of course a Prepper who retreats into his basement with all his guns and goodies. Not for the faint of heart; nova's depiction of the future is rated "R" for graphic violence.
Oh, it is also has Freya the Goddess. She has returned as a 12 year old girl.
Anyways, this looks like a cool place.

I tend to forget sometimes, but I am a published author :) I wrote and did technical editing for several non-fiction computer software books. It's a pretty cool feeling to go into B&N and see your book on the shelf. They were all written as contract pieces which meant I got paid peanuts for them, but it looks great on the resume (I do computer work by day). And LORD were they boring. I also was a contributing author on a major computer website for a while, and I still write occasional articles for various sites.
On the fiction side, I sadly have not had the same success. I've had a couple pieces of poetry published (mostly rubbish I think, but they got published!). My efforts at writing full novels have failed. I keep losing the thread of the story. Lately I've been thinking about trying to focus on longer short stories to try and break through a bit.
