Hello,

I know there are many talented authors and GoodReads and that many are yearning to get the word out on their books. Some out there feel some of these authors are pushy but Asimov, Heinlein, and others had to start somewhere. So here is the best way, I think, to allow authors to point their stuff out here and maybe help them get some readers while keeping ads out of the general thread population. Here are my only rules:

1. Your book must be a scifi or fantasy book. This means something that falls into line with this article on Wikipedia (for lack of a better source). A good broad description:

"In some contexts, it has been used as an inclusive term covering a group of fiction genres that speculate about worlds that are unlike the real world in various important ways. In these contexts, it generally includes science fiction, fantasy, horror fiction, supernatural fiction, superhero fiction, alternate history, and magic realism."

I am going to be strict on this and if I delete your entry it is nothing personal. I am only keeping the integrity of the system I am putting in place.

2. Only one thread per book unless your book is picked for discussion.

I reserve the right to delete threads in this folder and elsewhere that break these rules as the benevolent dictator of the group. :-D

I would also suggest getting involved in our book discussions. Relationships are formed in this way and if you pique my interest in a discussion I know I will be more interested in you as a person and it leads me to see your profile and the sky becomes the limit!

Have fun and keep writing!
