My ultimate goal is to have at least one of my works published and available to the public at your regular bookstore

I'd been writing my own work for the past 6 years (October 2002) and I have 8 completed works to show for it.
One of them is a short story (23 pages on Word).
Six of them fall into the fantasy genre or have some fantasy-elements.
All of my works have romance in them somewhere, whether its the major storyline or its in the background amdist something else that's going on.

A few of them are posted on various websites

[only the first work listed is available. I still have to finish uploading the second]

Feel free to message me if there's something else you'd be interested in looking at that I haven't posted already (the short story is not posted online yet).
