Well, Here I am trying to carve out an amazing future as a word-smith. With determination, creativity, your help and some spare time I am SURE I will get there.   
My name is Ian, I'm from the beautiful New Zealand.  I only have six adorable kids - is that enough?  I am also a Christian.
I love to read and support others with the same vein as I.  Life is NOT a box of chocolates.  It's true that you never know what you're goin'a get; but you can certainly work towards something that truly inspires you.  Something you want to become.

My key secret is that you need to edit, and re-edit.  It might take 100 times, but keep working it.  A diamond was once just a drab rock, until a master jeweler saw its potential and worked it.
  
I have already written a childrens' story that you can sample here at 
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/30854 . This version is in the first person, however I am working through - re-editing and uploading the original version to wattpads.  The original version was always in the third person.  I'd love to have your votes and advice.

Sorry everyone for taking so long to post another chapter of "The Girl That Was Buried In Her Ball Gown."  My life kind of went into crises mode for a while two weeks ago.  I'm working on it and it will be up soon.  Thanks everyone.

Hey everyone: yay!  I've put up another chapter of "The Girl That Was Buried In Her Ball Gown."  I hope you like it.  Oh and I would really love to hear from any girls how I am doing at writing this story from a girls perspective, since I'm not one myself.  Am I capturing her girlishness or not?  I'd really appreciate that.  Thanks!

Hey. A Storm Hits Valparaiso had to be removed from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. I tried to give everyone reading it as much warning as possible - with messages on my profile and on the story for three weeks beforehand - sorry you missed that.

It's available now from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006OPORV8/
