Hi, I'm Vivian.
Did everyone say hello? If you did, then this feels like I'm in an AA meeting (Author Anonymous?).
Like everyone else, I've written stories for a long time. And, yes, I've a few books completed over the years. Most of them will make anyone howl (with laughter) or cringe (in pity or dismay). But going back to them is useful because it reminds me that, yes, I've gotten better and that there's always an opportunity to improve.
I've just put up two books with Smashwords under the name V. Griffen. It's only been a couple of days, but I'm giddy that I've already made a few sales. Yes, I did the happy dance. While I'm keeping my expectations realistic (low), it's also a heady feeling knowing my work is Out There. It also makes me a little nauseous with anxiety, but I'm not going to talk to you about that.
My books are in the Urban Fantasy genre. There's magic, ghouls, pucks and chupacabra (that's singular and plural). Spoiler: no vampires. Sorry.
Still, I enjoyed writing them and I'm enjoying writing the third in the series. Got two other books in the planning stages, so I plan to be busy for a long time to come. That is, if I can be forgiven for inflicting them on everyone.
Here are the links to the books, so any of you be so inclined.
