Thanks Bob and hi group!

I am unpublished but just finishing up my first novel.  It is a suspense drama.  I have had a short story get an honorable mention in Writer's Journal a few years back.  I took to writing as a hobby a few years ago and have a series that i am working on.  I am ready to develop query letter and synopsis and find and agent/publisher on this first novel.  I read mostly psych thriller like Val McDermid, Dennis Lehane, Karin Slaughter but also throw in a lot of Stephen King, Dean Koontz and have tried several other popular authors in the genre.

I am hoping your site can answer some questions along the way - the formatting of the manuscript and some basic police techniques as well.  It is nice to have a group to discuss with. I've taken several courses live but where i live the best i can hope for in meeting other writers is romance and while nice, they don't tend to get my stuff...which can be kind of graphic at times.  Hopefully i won't scare anyone here away.
Thanks,
danni:)

Hi Danni and welcome. Don't be shy about throwing out your questions. You'll find this group will answer. There are members who are experts in many fields and you'll not find a nicer online group to join. Good luck with your first novel.
