J_A_Fales Profile

I am a complex arrangement of deathly serious molecules prone to random bouts of silliness and irreverence. My roots are east coast (Florida), but I moved to the west coast (California) just shy of a decade ago so I suppose you might say I'm bi-coastal and prone to wandering. Senility cannot be far away, at least not I hope not because I can't wait to dance with coat racks in the lobby of fancy restaurants and hotels, giggling to myself while all the patrons stare in horror. I have an I.Q. that I'm proud of and sometimes (rarely) might even live up to along with a deep, abiding love of words and images. I have always loved writing but only recently fulfilled a dream by self publishing a short scifi/fantasy novella. I've been in the financial industry for years now so, believe me, learning this business is a whole new world to me. On the bright (and humbling) side, I have learned and am STILL learning a great deal from that process and the valuable feedback I've received thus far. Now, it's high time I belonged to a community of writers so I can connect with others, learn from and with you, and gain strength and support from our shared experiences.
