Good Morning Mobilereaders!

Jim Chaseley · 03-03-2012, 08:34 AM

Hi,

I'm Jim, from a small town in Surrey, England. I'm a reader and a writer and am here to pick up some good sci-fi recommendations, and then just chat about the wonderful, wonderful world of books, too.

Nobody anywhere else has been able to recommend a sci-fi series with a character similar to Richard Morgan's Takeshi Kovacs, so maybe somebody here will have some good ideas?

I managed to get my previous intro thread deleted, so apologies to the admins for that!

I'll be a model mobilereads citizen from now on

Ah, and this is how far I got last time:

Mr Daniels, we meet again! Hello, there!

Now, don't you feel better?

You took the time and courtesy to introduce yourself - and that made all the difference!

Regarding self-promotions: The very first thing you need to do is to become familiar with our Posting Guidelines regarding Self-Promotion.

Hi Jim and welcome to MobileRead

Hi Don, Hi cassidy.

Oh, I completely acknowledge I broke the rules, and I apologise profusely for that, but the bulk of my post was actually me introducing myself. I just wrapped it in a bit of a misguided joke about also being here to "sell". In your face promotion is something that drives me potty, too, so I was trying to poke fun at the people who do do that. It backfired! And I accept the consequences!

I misread the guidelines about not having promotional links outside of the authors area, but the links I did add would only have been what will end up in my sig. I shall model mine on the lovely Mr Valmore Daniels, up there.

I've set myself a rule of getting to 20 "proper" posts now, before I so much as mention my book. (I won't count this one).
