    Hello from the Sunshine State!

    My name's Maddi. I've been looking for support for me as I'm struggling through my first real book, and this place seems like a good place to start!

    I love just about all genres of books as long as they're well-written. While I don't confine myself to one genre, I absolutely love fantasy set in the modern day, which is the theme of my current project, a novel about ancient Egypt, reincarnation, and love. Stephen King and Neil Gaiman are a few of my idols.

    I'm looking forward to exploring the forums! See you there!

    Hey Maddi, welcome!

    It sounds to me like you'll fit right in here. A lot of us are struggling through a first book. I know I am. And "struggle" is a bit too light.

    Oh, yeah. I've been looking for an adequate word besides "struggle," but I don't think it exists.

    Thank you!

    Welcome, I'm from the 'real' sunshine state, but I'll let that pass for the fact you enjoy Neil G. Favourite book of his?

    You should move north Miss Somers, and find weather more suited to your name; you deserve it.
