Angury Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Hey Simon! How exciting, I'm from Cardiff as well. Do you visit the Buddhist Centre in Cardiff out of interest? Anyway, happy to see you here - it's always great to see budding authors lurking around. Hope you have a great time across these forums and I look forward to hearing more from you. Quote
vodkafan Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Hello Simon! I am writing a SF novel too. Look forward to conversing with you. Quote
Onion Budgie Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Hi Simon, welcome to the forum! There's an LGBT book recommendation thread floating around here somewhere*, if you have any favourites that you think we should know about. * I just checked -- it's in the General Fiction forum.

Corporate Christ Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Thanks all. Angury, I used to go to the Buddhist Centre every Thursday but haven't been for a few years now. Was thinking just the other week of returning actually. Vodkafan, Is it your first novel? This is my first though I'm getting help from my friend who has been published. Onion Budgie, I'll have a look thank you. Though honestly, I don't read a lot of LGBT fiction, mainly more topical things, though there was this really amazing fantasy trilogy by Ricardo Pinto that featured a gay romance in it. That's worth reading. And AbielleRose, Thank you and I'm sure I will. Quote
vodkafan Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Hi Corporate, yes it is my first novel. 50,000 words in so about half way. Quote
Madeleine Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Hi Simon, glad to see your book is progressing well. Good luck with it. Quote

woolf woolf Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Welcome to the forum, Corporate Christ. I'd get tired if I had so much in my life as you seem to have in yours. Edited February 28, 2016 by woolf woolf Quote
chesilbeach Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Hi Simon, welcome to the forum What books do you enjoy reading ... just science fiction since you're writing in that genre, or do you read other things too? Quote
Corporate Christ Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 Hi Simon, welcome to the forum What books do you enjoy reading ... just science fiction since you're writing in that genre, or do you read other things too? Chesilbeach, I mainly read non-fiction to be honest. Whatever I feel like learning about. Mostly Science or Politics. As far as Fiction, I do like a lot of things not just Sci-Fi. If a book is good, it's good. Quote
Corporate Christ Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 Have you read any Jack Vance? No I haven't. Any good? Quote
vodkafan Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 No I haven't. Any good? Superb!! He was a fantastic wordsmith. I first read a book of his when I was a teenager (The Languages Of Pao) and then had to get hold of every SF story he wrote. Quote
