Goodreads Aussie Authors place request to be added to list here:) (showing 1-50 of 238)

[Carmel comment history]

We are trying to build up a database of Australian authors who are also Goodreads members. It gives you a chance to get to know each other if you haven't already met and it gives us (your avid reading public!) a chance to try some homegrown talent. I'll add more authors as we meet them but if you'd like to be added to the list please request in this thread.

Due to the list outgrowing it's original thread we have created a new location for the list & the link is here:

Patricia, I won't take any credit for this thread, I just updated what Mandy had and as administering it needed upadating with her not moderating anymore. But thanks anyway for your kind comments!!

Well, thank you too, Mandy. You're both great. Moderators and administers should be thanked, after all, where would we all be without them? Plus authors need all the help they can get. :)

[Colin comment history]

Could I be added to the list, please?

I had the 2009 release The Fall of Ossard

The sequel, Ossard's Hope, book 2 of the trilogy will be available on Amazon in a few days, on Kindle in a few weeks, and in Australian bookshops in late September.

[Lilian comment history]

Carmel, you could add me to the list. I've written Harlequin romances for quite a while, and have a backlist Women's Fiction title, Cafe du Jour, out on Amazon Kindle. Thanks!

Hi Lilian, have you thought of setting up a Authors page? It would then provide more info for those who potentially could become your readers. Have a look at the "How to use the Authors Program" link and see what you think, otherwise it would just be your personal profile that would be linked, http://www.goodreads.com/author/how_to
Let me know what you decide and then I'll add you:)

[Lilian comment history]

Yep, I'm in the process of doing that, thanks for your help, Carmel.
