Hello!!! My name's Michelle and I just wanted to say hi to everyone before I pop off and have a browse around the forum. I've only just joined, but I hope it's going to be a regular hang out for me and a place to just chill out and chat/read about a place that will always be my second home - the island of Tenerife.
Me and my husband lived there for 2 years from 2004-2006 but before that we spent many a holiday on the island, and we still have our apartment in Torviscas so are still regular visitors.
Anyway, a little bit about me. I'm about to turn 43, I'm a very proud Geordie, and I've just ventured into the world of eBook self-publishing by becoming an independent author, because for all my life my ultimate dream was to write books. I'd written 3 novels over the past few years but had no luck finding an agent or publisher so I decided to go it alone and self-publish my books myself as eBooks on Amazon! So that's what I'm currently doing. And my latest book, a fun, romantic comedy called 'Too Much Trouble in Paradise', is set mainly on Tenerife, and was a whole lot of fun to write!
Trying to find time to get started on 2 new books, but right now I'm in the process of doing what has become very necessary to me at the minute - marketing my books, because self-publishing also means self-marketing and that is proving to be a WHOLE new experience for me!!
So, I just wanted to say hi, and I hope to get to chat with a few of you very soon!! :)
