Thank you. But nah, too shy.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Kaz Kilmore. I understand. I was extremely shy throughout school. What genres do you write?

Kaz Kilmore

That's lovely of you to reply and understand. Thank you. I write crime (in all its big and small walks of life. But probably the darker the better). What do you write?

Screenwriter, author

My love of fiction started with an old musty box in my uncle's garage that held a treasure trove of old magazines and paperbacks, but it wasn't the artwork that held my attention, it was the short fiction and the novels.
