Greetings from Abdun "Tobacca"

[Abdun N.A.]

Hi ! all, my name is Abdun from KL of Malaysia.

I pondered for a while to come up with the name Tobacca, which is obviously derived from Chewbacca. For me, Chewbacca has an inner child inside that big hairy exterior. And just for the record, Tobacca has nothing to do with tobacco since I'm not smoking and also against smoking (active or passive).

My favourites are Star Wars, LOTR, The Sword of Shannara, Harry Potter (hee...), The Simpsons (Bart is my man!), CSI, Alias, Without A Trace and The Apprentice (hhmmmm.....). Btw, do you know that in the first drafts of Star Wars, Lucas set the story in the 33rd century, Luke Skywalker is a 60 year-old man and Han Solo is a creature without nose and has gills?

I'm currently pursuing my dream to publish books (e-books or thru' normal publishing). The books are in fantasy/horror genre with a dash of sci-fi here and there. It's a lot of work i must admit, and a lot of fear to pursue/temptation to procrastinate as well...<sigh>

If everything goes according to plan, our friend Abdun will be the first Malaysian to release a somewhat international-level fantasy novel. Good luck to him on his venture. We'll help whenever we can
