Hello, Joyce. I'm a Mama from the U.S. I noticed you write fantasy/steampunk. I do mostly historical fantasy (my term for it) or urban.

Hello Joyce,

Welcome to Mother Writer! I like both your status updates--I remember the baby not sleeping moments all too clearly and vampires in Singapore! Feel free to stop in and introduce yourself to the group. We look forward to hearing from you.
