Hi, I'm J. Schlenker. In December I published my first book, Jessica Lost Her Wobble. The manuscript placed as a finalist in the 2014 William Faulkner - William Creative Writing Competition. I listed 2 copies for giveaway which is offered under the giveaway section of Goodreads. I've been a member of Goodreads since 2009 but didn't really start using it until last year when I did the reading challenge, which I'm doing again this year. Please friend me, read my book, let me know what you think, and happy reading and have a great 2016!
Hi my name is Briana, I live in southern California and I write paranormal romance. I debuted my first book in September 2015 and currently working on the book 3 while book 2 is being edited.
I am a reading addict, which is how I found this group. I began scrolling around to see if there were any books that would interest me. I like paranormal romance, fantasy and sci-fi.
I think Sheri and Tana deserve a big ❤️for always being on the top of welcoming everyone! Kudos to you both! xoxoxo

Hello everyone!My name is David. I'm a new author, and published my first book Letters for Lucia: 8 Principles for Navigating Adversity this month. It was inspired by the unexpected international parental abduction of my 11-month old daughter. Somehow I was able to find compassion and forgiveness in the circumstances, which led me to a place of peace. I'm hoping to help people through my story. If you're interested in providing a review, please let me know. Also, feel free to peruse my website and join my inspirational updates and blog list. Peace and love! ~DBJ

Hello Everyone! I am a Canadian Author and fairly new here. I have recently posted some blurbs for feedback as I am close to self-publishing my first book, Dracones Awakening. It is a steamy, dark, paranormal romance. I am trying to figure out the Goodreads site...and my next steps before publishing. I have gotten my book back from the editors. My cover is done, I am working on ARCs for reviews and thinking/hoping to list my book for mid march...but now I am looking into the promotional stuff and can I list my book on Goodreads as coming soon? if I do, and where? Can people start to leave reviews? any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! This is all mind boggling! :)

Hi Sheri-Lynn yes you can list your book on goodreads before its out. Once you have your arc copies you can list it and in our group looking for reviews. Plus look around on goodreads see where else you can promote your book. Good luck.

I enjoyed that book - it gave me the "nerve" to start using Goodreads (I'd been signed up for a while, but kept chickening out on trying to figure it out)
Howdy-- I write paranormal and Gothic adventure and romance. My first book is Just Like Gravity. I'm looking forward to making connections with readers and other authors through this group. At the moment I am looking for writers who would like to do a guest post from time to time on my blog. The name of the blog is Sorchia's Universe. I write paranormal fiction--usually about Scotland, single-malt Scotch, witches, and legends.
If you have that kind of content, give the place a look and message me here if you would like to guest blog. While I don't mind at all if you refer to your own writing and link to your own site or provide buy links, plan to post about something other than your book. Ghost stories, paranormal investigations, a nice legend or monster--stuff like that.
And if you like to read spooky legends, healing crystals, witchy practices, great flash fiction, and links to my books, I would be honored to have you as a follower.
Thanks to the Makers, whoever you are, for setting up this group and thanks for letting me in :)

Hey guys!I'm Skylar, I love writing everything from essays and short stories to novels, and I'm especially fond of genre fiction. I just put out my first ebook on Kindle, which has been very exciting, and I run a website about writing and stories called Bigbravesky.com.
When I'm not writing I love reading authors like Neil Gaiman (my hero), Chuck Palahniuk, Michael Chabon and Ursula LeGuin. Also a big fan of graphic novels and movies, I'm a sucker for a good Hero's Journey.
Nice to meet you all!
HI to this group, I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you! My name is Celeste Leon and I live in Truckee (Lake Tahoe), California and there are about four feet of snow in my yard, yeah! I am an author and Floricanto Press (in Los Angeles) released by book at Thanksgiving, 2015. I worked on it for ten years! I am a goodreads author and my website is www.celesteleon.com. I love reading and my favorite genres are historical and multicultural fiction. I am a physical therapist as well and I love food, wine and literature. Thanks for reading!

I applaud you for taking your time to get your book to press. I will check out your site. - SJR
Thanks Salley! It only took me ten years! One of my favorite books is Little Book: A Novel. The author, Seldon Edwards, skyped with my book club and is charming! It took him 40 years to finish this lovely novel, (I think his second book came out much quicker) so i don't feel too bad!Cheers,
Celeste
The first book always takes the longest! Better to take the time to make it right than to rush it out and discover that there were things that could have been expressed in a more elegant way. I went to your site and think your book sounds intriguing. You have designed a nice clean website as well. - Salley
Hi,I'm H.B Jackson, a writer and enthusiastic reader. I love supernatural fantasy. My first Novel in a book series is now out. The Nephilim Chronicles: The Rise of the Fallen.
Thanks Salley, I keep the website up to date but I'll pass on the compliment to my wonderful web designer! My book is based on the real story of my father (just turned 90). He really did win the lottery in Puerto Rico and used the money to accomplish his dream for the betterment of others and his community! I love that part of my history!
Hello Celeste and H.B. welcome to the group!
Welcome to the group Skylar, Celeste, and H.B.!
Thanks Tana and Sheri. It's been fun so far. A quick question: do reviewers only read ebooks? Thanks again!
Celeste wrote: "Thanks Tana and Sheri. It's been fun so far. A quick question: do reviewers only read ebooks? Thanks again!"Any format the author can provide is usually fine. Ebooks are just easier and less expensive since you don't have to pay for shipping.
Hi I am Tim Lewis (though my author name is Timothy Michael Lewis) and I am the author of 4 books - 3 Time Travel Novellas and 1 short fantasy novel.In terms of reading I'm more a non-fiction person, though trying to read more in my genres - happy to help review non-fiction or audio books (I walk a lot so have time to review audio books!)
Hello, I'm new to this group, very new to all of this posting and social media. I have a goodreads author page for my new romance "Signed Love" I live in Alberta, Canada. I have been writing for years but while raising a family I never worked to publish anything. This is the first of my manuscripts brought back to life.
Hello,I'm Lloyd Baron, from Portsmouth England.
I write Fantasy for the most, although I am interested in horror. I have four published books, all part of the same series, Prophecy of Ages. They are, Wings of Light, Decimation of Hope, Blood of Innocents and Lords of Chaos. My fifth is due out later this year, Shades of Malevolence and continues the saga.
I am a massive fan of Japanese culture, food and Anime. I speak (very bad) Japanese and am learning how to make some wonderful meals.
Welcome to the group Tim, Kathy, and Lloyd!
Hi Tim, Kathy, and Lloyd welcome to the group!
Hello. I'm Simon Williams, the author of the Aona dark fantasy books, and Summer's Dark Waters, which is a YA sci-fi/fantasy adventure. I'm working on the fifth and final Aona book "Salvation's Door" which should be out this spring, and aim to also finish the sequel to Summer's Dark Waters by the summer.
Although I describe the Aona books as dark fantasy, they really bridge a number of genres and they contain elements of sci-fi and horror.
I'm also writing an as-yet-untitled book for young (7-10 yrs) children which is possibly the toughest project yet.
