Hi and thanks for dropping in

I've been writing novels for a very long time but I enjoyed a hiatus for a bit.

My back catalogue of published contemporary romance novels are written under the pen name, Criss Copp (a derivative of my first name and my married name a decade ago), but I thought I'd try something different now.
And this platform is all very new to me. 
Offering my material up chapter by chapter on Wattpad.

I'm niave to this platform, so please bear with me...
I also have paid content on Amazon under Clarissa Beach and a Goodreads Author page.
Until I get a handle on how to do this, here are just a few things about me I'm happy to share.

* I once read there's a personality called "Fantasy Prone," and I think I understand this.
* I'm guided by experience and embellish as appropriate.
* I independently travelled far from home and well outside my comfort zone before the pandemic and I found some of the world. I'm not finished doing this.
* I raised little people into big people and then set them free. I welcomed one of them back.
* I'm open minded on most things.
* But... I don't like being told what I should believe. Sure, tell me what you think, but show me the evidence, and if it stands up to scrutiny, then I'll think about it some more.
* I'm an atheist, but I have people I love who believe in their chosen God.
* I'm known to be sarcastic and I laugh a lot.
* I've experienced more heartache than I ever wanted to.
* Unequivocally, I believe in happy endings.
* P.S. I wish I was good at conversing through social media, but alas, I'm positively crap at it. It's not that I don't know how to do it, it's more that I struggle to harness enthusiasm to engage. I guess being introverted doesn't always change with the venue.
Therefore, I apologize for having limited reaction to any queries or questions in advance - I'll try to do better.
