Introductions

This is just a place for new members to introduce yourself, say a few words about your interests and, maybe, what you hope to gain from the forums.

Hi,

I've known Sandy (author of the Samurai Kids books, amongst others) for many years. I have had a life long interest in martial arts and good stories.

Sandy has asked me to help out running the forums so she will have more time to write. :D

The other site didn't seem to be very stable and there were other problems with accessing the software and database. But now we've moved the forum to the same host as the Samurai Kids website and things should be much better.

Good to see one of the originals back. :D

Hi Dano,

Glad to see you're back. We've been working on expanding the forum to include a Writing strand for those interested and some of the members are looking into (and encouraging me to have a go) at programming a few simple games. Not sure if that was before we 'lost you'. The last board was a real headache but thanks to Oyabun's persistence and hard work we have managed to retaan most of the original content in the move. I'm currently working on book 5 in the SK series. No title as yet. I find titles really hard to think of - harder than writing a whole book! Plus I seem to have created a convention where there is a spirit or colour in the name each time *sigh* mMAde it even harder for myself.

Wondered if you had the password problem sorted out. Thought I had fixed it, but computers tend to pick on me, so I can never be sure they will co-operate. :lol:
