Hey,
It's nice to hear from you guys again (Sup: Emu, Fathom Zero, Esuohlim.) Here is the definition of a novel curtisy of dictionary.com:
"A fictional prose narrative of considerable length, typically having a plot that is unfolded by the actions, speech, and thoughts of the characters. "
My interactive book was 242 pages, of considerable length, and tells the story of a bounty hunter, her motivations for what she does, and the story unfolds throughout the different paths and leads to an epic confrontation against an evil necromancer.
I call myself a novelist because that is the goal I set for myself. I liked writing "Ariona", but no longer wish to write interactive stories (there is currently no profitable market, and my attempts to revive popularity for them were futile).
I write young adult stories now, typically 120 pages, but I have a sci-fi trilogy I will write as decent length novels in the future. My current writing style is similiar to that of R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike, beings as they were my greatest literary influences over the years.
Hey Terra,
There are not any excerts from my most recent stories

but fear not, for they will get published in the near future. And there will be the presence of emoticons in most of my posts, when they apply, that is.
