New Author - The Preacher's Wife

I have read and enjoyed your story and look forward to the next one.
Good Luck and I hope you enjoy the writing.

I actually thought you had been publishing stories here for years – and that is exactly what your first story looks like!

Me too! I think it's because you're such a prolific commenter, we authors are quite accustomed to seeing your name around here

Congrats on your first story!

As someone who has enjoyed some encouraging comments from the The Preacher's wife over the years, it came as a surprise to discover you are a new author as your first story is so polished. Thank-you for taking the plunge. Hopefully we will see you splashing around some more from now on.

"Thank you all. I seem to have the read lots and comment more part down pretty well already, having been here a number of years. Now it's just a matter of pulling the scenarios that have been slowly baking for the past 30+ years out of my head and putting them down in writing."

Yes, you've provided a number of insightful comments over the years, glad to see you're giving it a go as an author (I think I'd been a member ~6 years before I finally convinced myself to give it a hack).
