Greetings from BC, Canada

I've had eBooks (not many lol) in my collection for a while but have yet to actually buy an eBook reader. What got me into eBooks was finding a series that was out of print that I had always wanted to read the second and third books of. I had the first book -- The Reluctant Swordsman -- in my physical collection for a long time, and when I discovered the trilogy was available in digital format (and DRM free!) I jumped right in.

My reading selection is nearly exclusively fantasy. Authors such as Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, R. A. Salvatore, Raymond E. Feist, Terry Goodkind... well, and so forth lol.

I'm also a would-be writer. I've finished a second draft of one novel (which is still far from submittable, but I'm starting to actually think one day might be if I can polish it up more), and I'm working on the first draft of a second. Both of these novels originated from participation in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, a challenge to anyone willing to write a 50k word or greater novel in the month of November).

Outside of all that I'm a hockey nut, and entering UBC's faculty of arts this September with a plan to major in Modern Languages (German, Japanese, and whatever French I can pick up without having French 11 on my transcript). My 'safe' plan is to get a secondary school teaching certificate after that... but given the capital and opportunity I'd love to get into translating foreign fantasy novels (If I could pull that off self-employed between writing my own stories it would be awesome!), or maybe even comics or manga.

Greetings!

Good to have your company, Nakor. And stick at that book. Canada is producing some remarkable talent. Cheers. Neil
