Hello everyone! My name is Keysha Jade, I am a self-help author and I love too read motivational books. My book Intoxicated Stained Tears is about my personal experience with domestic abuse, depression and how I began to create a positive and purposeful life. I would love to read any self-help or motivational books of yours or any you recommend.
Thanks!
Keysha
Hello Keysha,My new book (RE - Formation, A Courageous Journey) is motivational but also addresses what it is to be Christ's as we go through these battles of life. I will be doing a $5.00 discount through my website as soon as it is up and running. The understanding in this book is the result of God's deliverance of me through the pains of my life and into a true freedom in Him. God bless.
Hello, Everyone. My name is Fatima Ahmed Alsuwaidi, the author of the new published novel for middle graders (Once Upon a Travel).Once Upon a Travel: As strange things happen, Nasser soon discovers he is a time traveler. Along with his father, they will see the world, gain knowledge, hide secrets and unravel others.
A story about family, friendship, adventure and culture.
It took me a year to finish it, it's the ending result of hardworking in long sleepless nights. I wish for everyone who reads it to enjoy the life of Nasser and his father and their time traveling adventures .
I am now in the process of announcing my novel, but I'm also working on other writings as well.
Once Upon a travel in Amazon.com if you are interested in it (You can have a free look inside):

My name is Richard French, an American living in Toronto, a city with a lot to offer. I read, listen to classical music, take walks as therapy for my heart, and help with church work, since I'm a retired pastor. I write literary fiction, as I've done all my adult life and am a grateful subscriber to Amazon's kindle direct publishing.

Thanks, Dave, Tana, & Sheri. Best wishes to you all.
*waves hello all around* I'm Dana Tanaro Britt and I'm a voracious reader who also writes contemporary romance/women's fiction stories. I always, and I do mean *always* have a book within reach.
Conversation is perhaps my very favorite thing--next to reading. I adore people and truly enjoy their stories. My greatest talent is porch sitting--I'm a champion porch sitter now for a lot of years ;)
Looking forward to chatting, getting to know some of you and sharing our books along the way!
Hi guy! I just joined. I'm Danielle Kazemi and I write YA books mainly. I like making self absorbed charactes who think they know everything so it fits in great with that genre. I tend to stick with modern paranormal writing just because that is where my brain seems to go often.I was really active a few years ago in getting my books out there but then stepped back for a year or two and lost most of the momentum I built. Cautionary tale for people I guess. I'm excited to meet other authors and share the great things that happen for their books.
Felicitations everyone, I am Michael E. Gonzales, please, call me Mike. I am a new author, but an old writer. My genre is science fiction romance, and fantasy, though I am trying my hand at Historical fiction. My first novel, "Dark Moon Rising" was published last month by Fire Star Press and is doing quite well. This is the second month at 100% five star ratting everywhere it is being sold. I just signed the contract for book two of the pentalogy which should be out soon.
Being new to this I'm finding the learning curve quite steep, so I hope to learn from others.
Welcome to the group Dana, Em, Danielle, and Michael!
Hi everyone, my formal name is Ronald S. Barak, but I answer to and prefer Ron. I'm a newbie, writing thriller novels. I've just finished my second, 28: The Missing Amendment. More about it on my website, www.ronaldsbarak.com. (Happy to provide a brief description here, but don't want to overstep.) I'm about to begin the process of seeking an agent and a traditional publishing house if possible. In the meanwhile, I'm hoping to find those who might be willing to read/interested in reading my pre-release PDF copy (which I will be happy to provide by email) and provide me with some feedback. Hopefully, I've come to the right "place" to raise this. If not, hopefully someone will tell me where to go. (Wouldn't be the first time someone has done that -- told me where to go.) Best wishes and thanks to all, Ron
Hello,Where are my manners. Completely forgot to say hello. I am from South Africa and recently released my debut novel. I do not know what else to say...oh! I love Science Fiction.

Hello all. I'm Edwin Herbert and I've recently published my debut novel Mythos Christos. It crosses genres, in that it exhibits elements of suspense, thriller, historical, and possibly even mystery. And as the name implies, it's controversial. Anyway, I'm here for discussions and bibliophilic friends!

Hi, I am a journalist-artist-researcher-storyteller. I have just published four E-books - Spice & Kosher Series - about the exotic cuisine of the Cochin Jews, a tiny community that settled on the monsoon coast of Malabar in southwest India after the destruction of the Second Temple 2000 years ago. (The Cochin Jewish Book of Sweets and Drinks etc ... they are now available for sampling on Amazon etc...) There are more books to follow on the community on different aspects. I have also edited a collection of short stories: Rhapsody Lane - A Selection of Works by Flower City Writers.
HiMy name is sharon and I write books under the name S J Crabb. I like romance novels with suspense and young Adult fantasy and High School books. I also like humorous books and am currently enjoying writing my novels. If I have one regret in life it's that I never learned the guitar and joined a rock band, but I'm not dead yet so you never know.

We have a lot in common. I too am not dead yet and I'm just starting to learn how to play a blues harmonica. It fits in my pocket better than a guitar. I also write, but not under the name S J Crabb. That's probably a good thing.

well at least you're learning which is more than I am doing.
Greetings. I'm Calvin Travostin.I'm still kind of new to this site, and just joined this group.
I recently published the first episode of my serial story, "House of Khepru," on Amazon Kindle.
Something tells me I'm one of only a few who write serial fiction, but I'm glad to be able to connect with fellow authors and storytellers.
I hope to be welcomed with open arms.

If you look closely, you'll see my arms are open. Is serial fiction like the Flash Gordon episodes I use to see at the local movie theater on Saturdays, when I was a kid, and when a box of popcorn cost about 5 cents? Hate to date myself.
Hi Edwin, Bala, Sharon and Calvin welcome to the group!
Thank you for the warm welcome!To answer your question, Ronald, serial fiction is, in it's most basic form, a story released in regular installments over a period of time, instead of as one single narrative. A good, classic example would be "The Pickwick Papers," by Charles Dickens.
Once again, thank you for the welcome. I look forward to discussing more with fellow storytellers.

My two novels to date are perhaps "cousins" to serial fiction, a series of fiction novels, in this case a thriller series with recurring protagonists. I look forward to engaging.
Hello Edwin - it's a pleasure to meet you. Best of luck with your debut novel!
Hi, Everyone!Not sure if this is still an active group since it doesn't look like anyone has been on in awhile, but worth stopping by to say, "Hey!" since I found it on a post on how to make the most of Goodreads.
This is Daryn Kagan.
I'm a former CNN news anchor, turned web entrepreneur, syndicated newspaper columnist.
That is when I'm not chasing two teenagers, a husband, a 3-legged cat, my 16-year-old rescue dog and 8 chickens.
My new book is, "Hope Possible: A Network News Anchor's Thoughts On Losing Her Job, Finding Love, A New Career, and My Dog, Always My Dog."
It's a collection of 80 of my most popular newspaper columns that chronicles losing my job, getting married for the first time in my 40's becoming a mom in a most unusual way.
My website is http://www.DarynKagan.com, the web's one-stop destination for uplifting and positive news.
If anyone is home in this group, I'm looking forward to making connections and learning about Goodreads and your writing.
My name is Sequoia Nagamatsu. I'm the author of a forthcoming Japanese folklore and Pop-culture inspired story collection, and I'm also working on a novel and second collection. During the day, I'm a professor of creative writing (currently at The College of Idaho near Boise and soon to be at St. Olaf in Minnesota).
Originally from Hawaii (Oahu) and the San Francisco Bay Area but have spent much of my adult life in Japan and the Midwest.
Apart from reading and writing, I love watching horror movies, being distracted by my cat, and collecting curios (i.e. faux taxidermy of mythological creatures).
