Well my protagonist is a bit of a grumpy jerk - this is likely due to the fact that he must walk his overweight Siamese cat around the block whilst the cat is adorned in a flaming pink harness. :)

I'll keep an eye out for it. ;)

Hey,
I must say that I am delighted I found this site. I just picked up three much needed books for some lazy reading at the weekend yesterday and I have read two of the codex alera already and am on the third, absolutely and totally hooked! I decided, I must check this guy out, Jim Butcher, and looked him up and saw that not only is he a talented writer but he actually cares for the (hopefully) up and comers as well!! A rare find! ;)
I am a writer before I am anything and I do everything with the aim of giving myself the time and the space to write. I worked on a ship,(week on/week off) I lived on the dole (everyday off) and now I am in my fourth year of teacher training (just so I can get the three months off every summer to write!) I have finished one book which I have never shown anyone in entirety and is sitting on an old laptop that will no longer turn on! I write short stories and poetry and enter every competition I hear of - and won a few too! (Yes, I know, I am also annoyingly enthusiastic) But on the bright side, knowing that this site is in existence has put a smile on my face in the middle of teaching practice and may I say - that in itself is a feat of epic proportions.
Anyway, I really couldn't contain myself, so good luck to you all, and hopefully we can spur each other on to grand heights in the future!

Crazy Gerbil Lady and I have just finished the first draft of our first novel, which is in the trusty hands of our beta readers. It's book 1 of a trilogy, and we have another trilogy waiting in the wings. We hope to be published sometime soon, once the book is ready to be submitted.
We're also writing short stories.

I'm sure you have beta readers coming out of your ears, but if you ever feel you need another one...! ;)
The Dread Pharaoh Roberts:
We're definitely well-supplied...but we'll keep ya in mind! We may need fresh eyes to look at the next version...once beta changes are made.
