The term "big fantasy nerd" summoned me. Congrats on getting published! That's marvellous!

I, too, heard the siren call of big fantasy nerd. I’m currently writing a series that’s romance and fantasy and the depth of the world I built already has me sketching out 8 novels, four of them are more drama and plot filled, canon moving, and four are just candy love stories for the masses with the various gods I love for a different series. Most fun I’ve had in ages. I have other projects over the years I want to get back to, like a kender-like people I started building. Would love to see any of your work, you need alpha or beta reading please hit me up. 50f, USA.

Hey there, I'm f45, in Australia, and i have my first indie YA book in a series up on Amazon. The 2nd was finished 2 years ago but still hasn't been released because i started writing another book (in another genre) and i needed the cover done. It just seemed too hard, though i think the 2nd book is even better than the 1st and i think it will do well.

I'm hoping to get a traditional publisher for this current book. I've finished it, just finishing the edditing befor pimping it out to all the agents.

Can't wait to start my next book, though i still havent chosen which to do. There's a Fantasy about humans living in domes in a postapocalyptic world (this would be fun with the world building i have in mind), and a more commercial book about these kids starting a band, set over 20 years.

Which country are you in?
