Hello! New here...

Hello everyone,

I just joined, and I'm very glad I found this site .... I have been wanting to write for years, but you know how it is, you never get the time. I am a stay-at-home mom, of 3 sons, now grown into fine young men. My main interest, my main "love" so to speak, is romance! lol ... yes, well, romance adds the spice to life! I LOVE romance stories! So, I have written a few, they are definately not professional,but at least to ME (naturally), they're pretty good. I also love vampire stories, now, I'm not into this new fangled vampire stuff, that's just to much fluff for me! I love the oldies!!!! So, I"ve also written volume one of a sort of vampire romance, with a mortal woman .... but, I've only finished volume one, it's going to be an ongoing story, not just one book....but, like I said this story is FAR FROM this new vampire stuff they're putting out .... actually, the heroine of the story, has a brain and is in law school, quite unlike the new fads! I live in Florida, and spend a lot of time on the beach,,,just walking and watching the endless waves ..... the beach is a wonderful place for me to sit and write, it's peaceful, yet powerful! .....
I was originally going to go with Kindle, I registered there and everything, but have NOT uploaded any books to their site ...... but they seemed so complicated and they had far to many rules and regulations, and the small print was unbelieveable! So....quite by accident really, I found another e-book publisher called SMASHWORDS...........I have watched the videos on You Tube, and read everything on their site .... they seem much more user friendly, not so uptight, and believe YOUR work, should stay YOUR work, they encourage you to load up your story to any other publisher as well, which Kindle DID NOT like! So.................if anyone can give me any advice on just about, oh, anything, I'd appreciate it! Does anyone here publish on SMASHWORDS? If so......tell me what you think. Okay, I think I've blabbed enough....thank you for reading all of this, and as I learn and grow in this e-book publishing, I hope I can help others here as well ..... thanks so much,....Starlite
