We have a few but how could any be your friend? You're anonymous.
We have a published story writer here (I'm sure he will identify himself as such when/if he wants to), and I have had articles published (non-fiction) in the British press. There may be others.
Dear Ian,
I have written a few books, although they tend to be history, natural history, or other types of non-fiction.
Even though writing books is not what I am doing now, still I have enjoyed the friendship and the writing of authors on this site, including Didge Doo.
I will go and "friend" you now, with pleasure.
🖐🏼(raising hand)
