I write science fiction, fantasy, Kansas history, railroad history, and on occasion I write about writing. I've had six novels published, as well as over 80 short stories, 120 articles, and over a dozen nonfiction books. I love telling stories! Here are a few other places you can find me- Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2948221.Robert_Collins My FB Author Page: http://www.facebook.com/RobertLCollinsAuthor LibraryThing: http://www.librarything.com/author/collinsrobertl If you like what I write, you can help me out. Naturally, you can buy copies of my stuff at Amazon, Smashwords, and elsewhere. You can also post reviews of my work at places like Goodreads, as well as where you buy books. If you have a website or blog, mention that you've read and liked something. Heck, those are nice things to do for any author here whose work you enjoy. If you're just starting out -- write every day; set a goal (pages/words per day); plan your stories in advance; & have several ideas to work on. The more you write, the better your work will get. Happy reading! Happy writing!

Two items... One: "Expert Assistance" has hit 2000 reads. Thank you! Two: I'm posting how many pages I write each day in my status bar. So far the daily count is above my minimum (4 per day), but I'm sure there will be some below-average days. To those of you who write, I hope you're making progress on your stories. Robert

Hi Robert. I hope that you enjoy Amarith, though it is in need of some serious editing, including a whole different prologue I think. :)
