'Hello!' from Southeast Texas
My name is Ron Gould. I am a writer and have been since grade school. I have one completed novel and a couple of others in development. I am also a voracious reader - mostly Fantasy and Science Fiction, but pretty much anything with printing qualifies. I plan to have the first draft of my next novel completed this year.
My wife and I run the largest retail florist in Fort Bend county, west of Houston, Texas. We are actually southwest of Houston in the Richmond-Rosenberg area off of US 59. I was in software for over 25 years before being caught in a layoff, so I cashed in the 401K and we bought the flower shop where she had worked for the previous 18 years. We have now owned and operated the shop for about six years. It has been a REAL learning experience for me. |

Hello Ron -- and welcome to MobileRead. What have you been reading on your iPod Touch? I've been having withdrawal pains from my Kindle and Sony readers as I've been steadily reading paperbacks to try and get books mailed out to folks in my book swapping group.
By the way, I live in north Texas but I've been down here in the Houston area over the weekend -- which meant I got to experience your big downpour. So -- tell us about your novel. Is it published? Available in electronic form? Want to share an excerpt? (Us voracious readers want to know!) |
