Hello! What a friendly forum

Post by JP Flintoff » Fri October 9th, 2015, 10:00 am

Hello from London, which as I write is glowing in autumn sunshine.

I've been writing my first historic novel for 15 years(!), and I'm finally going to have it published. (It's not a very long book. I just stopped writing for ages.)

Having been occupied writing journalism, I lost sight for years of how much I always loved historical fiction. It has helped me to list my favourite historical novels (http://www.flintoff.org/my-favourite-historical-novels) so I could try to put the same qualities into my own book.

I've been reading lots of the posts here and feeling like a bit of a chump that I didn't discover this forum long ago.

But I'm glad to be here now, and look forward to meeting other enthusiasts.

JP

I just found this post now - looks like it may have been written during a period of forum transition to the new format or something(?) because we all missed it! :o

Anyway welcome to the forum JP and apologies for the lack of responses so far - I really hope this hasn't put you off, we really are a friendly forum I promise!
