Greetings from Canterbury
Hi everyone

My name's Ian Hocking and I'm a writer living in Canterbury. This is my first time on the forums here - Maria from BearMountainBook.com suggested I check it out, so here I am.

A bit of history about myself: I've been traditionally published, have an agent, etc., but I'm beginning my first foray in epublishing to see how it goes.

Anyway, just saying hello. I'm interested in science fiction (currently reading Simmons's Hyperion Cantos) and what might be called 'literary' fiction. Here we go: 'Hello!'

With best wishes

Ian

Hello Ian! Nice to see you here! Didn't I tell you to bring cake???? I cannot believe I would have forgotten, but I see you and No. Cake.

I prefer chocolate (of course) but any fresh-baked cake will do. We've lots of tea. Bit short on cookies...

Do check out the Author promo area and my favorite thread which is...what everyone is reading. Let me go find the link.

Here it is:

Some great gems have been found there. Pop along and keep us updated with any gems you've found.

Hey again, Maria. Thanks for the tips - I'll check them out.

I'm drinking peppermint tea. Is that allowed? :-)

Any kind of tea will do. We have our coffee drinkers as well. For all I know some may be spiking drinks with something stronger. But I don't ask.

Let us know if you get lost wandering around. We'll be sure to point you around the corner past the deli.
