I'm a "newbie" as well :-)

[Iris]

Great! I found you guys here as well :-)

 

I've just signed up with Astraea Press as well and I'm really really happy. I had read Rebekah's "investigator" story and Kay's "Heartsight" -- I LOOOVED both stories and am sooooo happy to be part of the same team now.

 

My name is Iris (pronounced more like E-ris). I live in Australia, but was born in Germany. I've been here now for a tad over 14 yrs and love the Aussie lifestyle. I'm married and have two beautiful girls who keep me on my toes.

 

I can't wait to meet you all, but most of all I can't wait to read all of your stories (as much as time allows it - life's just too busy), but with the aussie dollar being so strong hubby doesn't mind when i go on a spending spree :-)

[Chynna Laird]

Hi Iris! SO HAPPY to meet you. I have rellies in Australia and secretly, I've wanted to move there since I was a little girl. Not sure why but it's called me my whole life. =)

 

What's your book about? Mine was just released too! Blackbird Flies!!!

 

Hope to get to know you more.

 

Chynna

[Katherine Tate]

Some of us have friends in Australia - so it's great to meet yet another person from upside-down land! And I'm very happy that you enjoyed Heartsight. :-)

That sounds awesome!!! (I'm 1/4 Irish, 3/4 Scottish! I Love everything
Irish/Scottish! =D )

[Katherine Tate]

I'm half English - my mom was a British war bride, came to the states just after WWII. My dad was 1/2 Scot and 1/2 Dutch. I love all things interesting, lol.

[Iris]

Ditto !!!!! :-) ....

I always find it interesting, esp here in Australia, people's
background from all different countries. It's great.

@Katherine ... war bride? now isn't there a story in the making?

> > - Show quoted text -- Hide quoted text -

[Katherine Tate]

I suppose it could be, Iris. Lots of people have suggested it but I can't seem to pick into the era (1940s) to write.

[Cheryl Grey]

Hm, says the 1940 mystery writer. That wasn't a barb, was it, Kate?

Hello, Iris, pleasure meeting you. I spent three-plus years writing economic and technical trading articles for an Aussie client, working through a Northern Ireland website manager with a Scotsman owner and his Belfast wife. Yes, I dream about them, so I'll have to read your story. Think I'm gonna love it.

Cheryl, a/k/a Gunnar Grey

Naw, that was a hook, Cheryl. My mom spent WWII in her family home in England...

[Cheryl Grey]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, like I'm gonna write a book for you. Where's the family home? One of the old shires?

[Katherine Tate]

Devon and Exeter areas, but her grandparents lived in Plymouth. My aunt and uncle, the only sister left over there, live in Chard.

a guinness float sounds like something wonderful to include in a romantic scene.

I only spent a "long" w/end in dublin. We stayed 4 weeks in Germany
with my family so there wasn't much time, just enough for me to get
over for a quick visit to visit my friend :-)
