Hi, guys.

Emily emailed me and asked me to drop by. Looks like a friendly place. Smile

I have a young adult fantasy series, _The Prophet of Panamindorah_ at www.panamindorah.com. That podcast has about 2,000 listeners between my site and podiobooks.com. It's also available as a PDF and as an app in iTunes. Over the next year, I'm planning to produce another book in the same world (but with more adult themes) as audio drama with some well-known voices in podcasting playing various characters. If you have questions about making your work into free audiobooks, I'll try to answer, and the forums at podiobooks.com are also helpful (if you want actual step-by-step instructions, you should go there).

I've published a handful of short fiction. The most recent will appear in the Spring 2009 edition of The Greatest Uncommon Denominator. I've also got a story set in the Panamindorah mythos coming sometime soon from the Dunesteef podcast, but I don't know exactly when. My drabbles have been featured on the Drabblecast, and I had another story in the Panamindorah mythos published in the April 2008 issue of Beyond Centauri.

In real life, I'm a senior anesthesia student (a nurse, working on a specialized masters). This means I am very very busy, but I always make time for writing.

Cheers,
Abbie

Hooray! Welcome to the boards. I'm Ren, and we're happy to have you. Any questions, feel free to send me a PM. I'm friendly!

I think it's really amazing - and inspiring - that you manage to find time to write and the podcasts! So neat. I'm inspired that, though I might be pursuing a career not writing-intensive, I can still write.

Very excited to have you here!
See you around~

It'll notify you if you ask it to. It's in your profile, under preferences.
