See you on the trail! Diana (and …

The truth is, it's not about the camera. Give a great photographer a hundred do …

Hello everyone. I'm Eric Griffin. I am a gothic fantasy novelist. I haven't been published yet, but that will change. The purpose of this group is just what the name states. You don't have to be published to be a member, although having at least one published author in the group would be wonderful. I would, however, like to deal with writers who have been around the mountain enough times to employ a strong knowledge of technique and the fundamentals of novel writing. That way, each member …
