Hi,
Welcome to my virtual patio. There is a bookshelf next to your chair. Grab a story, make yourself comfortable and read awhile.
Coffee and tea on the table. Help yourself.
I don't read much fiction, short or long. I prefer history books. If I read fiction it is usually the Tom Clancy, C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, or Patricia Cornwell variety.
I enjoy reading others' stories - BUT - I worked in a real world, where I had to deal with real human merde! So, please don't ask me to read your stories if they are porn, occult, emo, or the Boons and Mills variety!
I don't live for my story writing, so I really do appreciate constructive criticism, and my ego won't be crushed if someone does a hatchet murder on any story. Go for it.

Bells Kelly on October 12i love a cup of coffee.
anyways a sugestion is Tmora Pierce, its a bit of a fantasy series she writes theres about four quartets in the series, kinda narnia like but not quiet due to the fact no one walks through wardobes or any other portal into this world... unless they're the Immortals
good series strongly advise, thats my opinion anyways.
Cheers! -
I989 : By the way on October 11Which part of Australia? South? North? I have an ex-love that lives in Adelaide; she's the singer-songwriter of "Queen Akini". At least I think she lives in Adelaide..Ever been? How's it there? The sun still scorching everyone's working class back?

I989 on October 11Well don't mind if I do have a cup of coffee! I'm running low on my last batch needed to review some pieces *sighs* Sooo comfortable to finally be in an atmosphere I'm comfortable with. Nah, it doesn't snow up here until November-December, much like most of America
Although Alaska I hear has some drowning troubles! Maybe they should drain their pool. C.S Lewis? I think I've read something by him, maybe not, maybe just looked up his life. History books? What kind've history? Humanity's history? Australian history? Literature? Ancient myths? American history? "History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it." *Browses through the bookshelf & admires the fact he doesn't have to stand up* Say, do you have any Kaftka or Balzac? Maybe some Bernhardt or T.S Eliot? *Sips from his coffee* Do you mind if I smoke in here?
