I am Nigel Code from the North East of England, although as a novel writer I shouldn't capitalise North or East apparently, only non-fiction authors do that. Nope, me neither.

I have been writing a series of seven novels for, about forever, and I am finally going through the hard yards of self-publishing. I intend to try to do it properly so I have the full machinery set up for subscribing readers, sending newsletters, the whole jolly author thing. If anybody wants advice on setting that up, I can try, because I put it all together myself so should hopefully remember some of it and be able to help.

My novels are mysteries with a bit of a haunted element, is there something to what people call ghosts after all? The first one should in theory appear next month. If anybody wants to find out more about me, I can be found at www.nigelcode.co.uk

That's enough about me. Who wants to go next?

Eight years isn't a long time, less than it takes most governments to answer a simple question. Hopefully writers will get on board again and find this a better resource than Facebook for answering anything that requires an intelligent reply. I find Facebook too momentary. You ask a question and have about a 30 second window to get a reply before attention moves on, and anything more than 5 minutes old seems to drop into obscurity, never to be seen again. On here you can hold meaningful discussions that you can come back to, even after eight years!
