Hi everyone!  What a lucky break to find a site like bookcountry.com.  I've very excited to begin reading and posting.  I've been working on a novel for a while now and have about 14 (disjointed) chapters and am trying to finish the last two chapters.  I haven't downloaded it yet, I may edit it a bit more before I do.

I've been a huge book nerd for my entire life, and have written mostly short stories.  Non published (yet...  In college, part of my major was short story writing, so I have a true love for it.   Hence, finishing this novel sometimes feels like trying to get blood from a rock.

My strengths tend to be in my characters, my weaknesses tend to be grammer agreement.  Sometimes, I swear, it's as if I missed all of my elementary school grammer lessons.  If anyone knows of a free online grammer school, please let me know.

Looking forward to reading your stuff!
