Robert (Southend-on-Sea)
Seeking a book club
I am a local prolific author who writes in various genre ie Historical Fiction, Fictional Crime, Irish Romantic Fiction and short stories. I did until recently have four books published in the USA but alas my publisher contacted me and returned all rights back to me and cancelled my contracts?. Disappointed yet determined I intend to carry on writing since its a labour of love. I have so much knowledge to pass on to those struggling with writing and tips on how to avoid those scams and the vanity press. I am of course 80 years old but I have so many ideas in my head which may or may not help others?.Maybe a local book club or those who are like me a bit of an introvert?. Many Thanks Robert James Bridge Local Author.
