I figured since we're all relatively new to this forum, maybe we should have a thread to get to know each other a little better. I'll start off... My name is Jeremy. I'll be 28 tomorrow. I live in Illinois with my wife and 15 mo. old son. I've been a fan of Stephen Lawhead since 1990. I work as a WAN Administrator for a manufacturing company. I am also working on writing my first novel. I have written 49,000 words of my 75,000 word minimum. I can't wait to get it finished. Anything else you want to know, just ask. This is a picture of me.

My name's Nathanael, and I'm a student with Reformation International College/Christ college. I am also an aspiring novelist, though in somewhat of a "sponge" state at present. I am a resident of Alabama. My first Lawhead was Taliesin, a book which promptly blew my mind (and made me even madder at Tex Marrs, a christian occult-hound, who insisted that Lawhead's work was satanic ) I've just now begun the Albion trilogy. Oh.... and happy birthday. ;D

Riothamus, my first Lawhead book was Merlin.... then Arthur... then Taliesin. Then I jumped into the Song of Albion series. I can't wait to discuss it with you once you finish it.

Happy Birthday!
My name is Dan. I'm almost 29 and live in Iowa with my wife of over four years.
I'm an licensed civil engineer. I've been a huge of Mr. Lawhead's work for as long as I can remember. I don't recall if the first book of his I read was Taliesin or In the Hall of the Dragon King. It has been a long time and I've been following his writing since then.
I'm a big science fiction/fantasy fan and have been reading that sort of work for the last 20 odd years. I first started with Tolkien's The Hobbit.

I have a couple from the Terry Brooks forum who hail from the Quad Cities. So when do you turn 29?

Happy birthday, Twrch!
My first Lawhead was Byzantium (read it to pieces), then Taliesin, then Merlin. I have acquired the rest within the last two years.
I'm a fourteen year old girl and I live in NH.

Hey! My name is Eldon Letkeman and I'm 27 years old. I live in Mission, BC, in beautiful Canada. About an hour from Vancouver. I've been married for 7 1/2 years and have two sons, ages 2 1/2 and 3 months. I am currently on parental leave from the lumber mill that I work for, which also gives me a chance to work on getting out of that job, once and for all. I have been an actor for about 16 years. I thought I wanted to do it professionally but I just don't seem to have that desire anymore. My headshot... I shaved my head since then.As for Stephen Lawhead, my favourite series is Song of Albion. I read it on a whim, and haven't turned back. I love his style. Especially when he describes his feasts. That would be quite a thing to behold, going to a feast like that. (Perhaps I should plan one...)Anyways, it's good to be here. I look forward to chattin' with da peoples.

Happy birthday, Twrch! My first Lawhead was Byzantium (read it to pieces), then Taliesin, then Merlin. I have acquired the rest within the last two years. I'm a fourteen year old girl and I live in NH. Thanks COI, I'm impressed that you read Byzantium first. That was a good book but LONG compared to his other works. Well Met Eldon! Nice to meet another father here. Welcome to the boards, both of you.
