I’m doing the happy dance today. My first novel is up on Amazon: Dragon Silver, Wizard Gold.

Please read it and review it. If you can afford to, please buy the paperback so you can share it with friends.

One of the main characters in this book is a #transman
I wanted to give positive representation to the trans community. As I’m not a trans man, I made certain to include two trans men in my beta readers specifically so they could identify any concerns. I would particularly appreciate feedback from the trans community about his character as he is a vital character through the next books.

I would also appreciate feedback from the #disabled community, as two of my characters have difficulty vocalising speech.

This book was a major accomplishment for me, but now I have started, I’m on a roll and I have no intention of stopping.

I recently published my father's stories about growing up in the Burragorang Valley west of Sydney (now drowned beneath Warragamba Dam).

"From the beauty of the valley's natural landscape to the hardworking community of farmers, George shares personal stories of adventure, hardship, and family, offering a unique perspective on the area's history."

A quick repost of this morning's post (for people in different time zones) announcing the publication of my father's memoirs: Burragorang Tales:

https://www.amazon.com.au/Burragorang-Tales-George-Gordon-James/dp/B0BSXXZ8ZR

"In his memoir "Burragorang Tales”, George Gordon James takes readers on a nostalgic journey through his childhood in the 1920s, growing up in the rugged wilderness of the Burragorang Valley, west of Sydney. From the beauty of the valley's natural landscape to the hardworking community of farmers, George paints a vivid picture of a simpler time. He shares personal stories of adventure, hardship, and family, offering a unique perspective on the area's history. This memoir is not only a recollection of the past but a celebration of the Burragorang Valley, now lost beneath the waters of Sydney's Warragamba Dam."

I am freaking excited folks! I sold a story! I will tell everyone more once we get closer, but I sold a story! I am a really real author now!:):p

Thank you folks who have listened to me tell stories and to my author friends who have stayed happy and positive sometimes for decades, and given me a boot in the ass on occasion.

It may not be a big deal to the world, but it’s a big deal to me, and I am celebrating:)
