Howdy, all!

Um, hi. I'm Kayla, and I'm an author... (waits for round of "hi's").

Oh, wait, this isn't Authors Anonymous. Sorry, wrong intro.

I'm a fairly new author, with only a few novellas under my belt. I don't know a lot about the publishing world, or anything related for that matter.

I do know a bit about mythology; Greek and Celtic, mostly, with some Norse, and Egyptian thrown in.

I'm horrible at typing these things and being grammatically correct at the same time, so please don't call the grammar police when I screw up. I may be an author, but I'm only a human one.

Okay, any questions? I love answering questions! And asking them...

Did I mention I'm a bit of a scatter-brain?

Anyway, "Hi. Nice to meet you! Let's please get along and help each other toward our writing dreams."

Yes, my books are based on mythology.

Heidi, I've never thought about having a 'favorite' myth. I guess I relate more to Artemis/Diana, but I really love the older gods more. The (crud, I just had the word, then I lost it), the ones that started it all. Chaos, Nyx, Erebus, the Fates, etc. I like them because not too many people go that far back in the pantheon for the basis of their stories.

I think the only thing I've read that's even close is the epic poem Beowulf. I'd love to learn Old English sometime, so I can read the old stuff the way it was written.

I WISH I'd had a mythology class in college. I had to do an independent study on it, and then the darn teacher didn't even read my semester's worth of work, she just said, "I have no idea how to grade this, so you get an A." While I appreciated the A, I was very annoyed to have done so much for nothing.

True, Heidi. If not for the class, I'd never have been able to finish the first three books in my series. Thank God for almost-obsessive researching behavior.
