It'll probably be a while until anyone reads this, but I thought a little introduction was in order regardless.
I am Violet Mason, an aspiring author following in the footsteps of my father. I'm currently working on a collection of short stories based on a book that belonged to him. I found it after he left the house to me. I don't live in that house, too many memories, but I took a look around so I could tidy it up in case I could bring myself to sell it. I'm still sitting on that decision.
Anyway, I'll be publishing the collection myself as an e-book. I would have it published now, as I'm done writing the five stories I chose to share. I've not done it because I've yet to find a suitable artist to help design the front cover. I have a friend who may be doing it, once he knuckles down and learns to draw like he was planning. Otherwise, it'll cost me about £30 or so from the research I did, the kind of money I'd prefer to use for more useful things.
I decided to start this blog for after I've got the book published. I intend to search for stories, just like my father did. I want to delve deeper into the world his tales showed me, and come back with some research of my own. Naturally, I'll be sharing some of the stories I find, as I'm going to do with my father's.
I'll be using this blog to document the people I encounter, to perhaps flesh out better the stories they tell me. It might take a while before I have anything to post, as I'll mostly be working on getting the first set of stories out there, but rest assured I'll share as much as I can once I have the ball rolling, so to speak.
So I've reached the beginning of my journey. Who knows where this path will take me, and where it will end.

Addition: I'd like it if you'd add me as a friend on Facebook as well. I'm known as Violet Mason there too. I'm the one with Harley Quinn as the profile picture (this is a temporary thing), and I live in Glasgow, UK.
