Hello and Welcome

Hello, I'm glad you stopped by the newest incarnation of Sylvia's Place on the World Wide Web. Make yourself at home and browse around. I'm Sylvia, writer, avid reader, (almost)Tennessee native, and wannabe web designer. I created my first very rustic home in cyberspace about fourteen years ago. The Internet had only been opened to us common folks a short time before. Communicating with other computer owners was done via 'bulletin boards'. Remember those? Within a few years several companies began offering email accounts, for a price though there were a few free accounts available - Juno anyone? Or Prodigy? K-mart even got into the act with a Blue Light email service. So many people scrambled to get an email address and then learn how to use it. How in the world would we communicate now without email, Facebook, MySpace?

I decided it was time to get a new look designed for my website so you might find a few broken links. If so, drop me an email and I'll get it repaired as soon as possible. Above the navigation panel on the right is a thumbnail picture of myself and next older and next younger sisters when we were all MUCH younger. Click the thumbnail to see a somewhat larger version. I will replace this picture periodically with other pictures of family and me as we grew up in rural West Central Georgia. The first link on the navigation panel on the right leads to family pages on my site and the last to the extensive family site my youngest brother created.

On my Writing Gallery pages, I will post links to my online published stories for those still available, books and books-to-be, or maybe a short piece I've written. Plus a few of my favorite pieces of prose by other writers. Also links to some of my favorite print mags and webzines.
