Canned quotes and attempts at flash usually fall worse than flat for these things, but we'll give it a shot.
Hi. I'm Jesse L. Cairns, and I'm damn glad to meet you. I've been a writer for all the part of my life that matters, starting off when I was eleven and found out it had a hold of my soul. At age fifteen, I started my first novel and finished it four months later. It sucked, abysmally. Since then I've been trying different genres over the year, alternating my publishing search between trying to find a decent agent (which has yielded its share of horror stories) and trying to find a publisher (which has yielded two major disappointments and a whole lot of little ones). To date I have finished twelve novels, hit a dry well with about as many more half-finished efforts, written essays up the yin-yang and even done some short fiction.
