I'm just learning my way around, and I'm not sure if this is how I post my intro. Hopefully it works. I'm Joe Reese, a novelist, storyteller, playwright, and failed college teacher now living in Lafayette, La. I lived in Chicago last year, though, and have just had published a novel called "And the Flowers began to Dance: A Novel of Chicago" which deals with a young woman who takes a position as docent with the Chicago Art Institute and becomes caught up in the shadowy world of international smuggling. I'd love feedback on the book, and especially tips on marketing, how to get reviewed, etc.
Mainly, since I'm novelling full time now, I'd just enjoy interacting with others in the same boat.
Hope this gets to the right stream, river,twitter, etc.
Thanks,
Joe Reese
