Ochayana, you certainly don't have to worry about being the oldest in the group anymore. :-)I joined because you sent me a friend request, and I saw that you belonged to this group, so I thought I would join as well. Even though I am "old," I love the idea of a group of "Swordmaidens," and I love fantasy and historical fiction. Many of my book characters are in their teens and twenties, and I love working with young people. I am especially glad to meet people from other countries. I have friends serving the Lord in Indonesia, Brazil and Peru, and others who live in Guam, one who visits Africa (I am not sure which country) as a short-term missionary. Looking forward to getting to know people!
