Cynthia Morgan Hello everyone
Im Morgan, Cynthia A. Morgan, the creator of the mythical realm of Jyndari and author of the epic fantasy Dark Fey Trilogy, which is based, in part, upon the true-life events surrounding the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda and draws readers into a mystical realm of primordial forests, magic and the lives of Light-loving and Darkness-revering Feykind.

I am also the author of the popular blog “Booknvolume” where readers can find poetry, English Sonnets, and musings about life. Im a current member of the Poetry Society of America; I've had had poetry published on numerous poetry websites and am currently working on building a Freelance writing repertoire.

Some of my other interests includes a deep love for animals and the environment. I am passionate about music and theatre; am frequently heard laughing; find the mysteries of ancient times, spirituality, and the possibilities of life elsewhere in the cosmos intriguing. Most Importantly I Believe in the power of Love, Hope and Forgiveness, all of which is reflected in my writing style.

Ahmed Rashed Good morning, everyone!

My name is Ahmed Rashed. I was born in Egypt and raised in Maryland. I work as an engineer during the day, but my passion is explaining Islam at various schools, churches, mosques, and temples. My new book showcases real interfaith conversations. My hope is that this book can be a small step towards greater understanding and harmony.
What Would a Muslim Say: Conversations, Questions, and Answers about Islam

In my spare time, I like to read about comparative religions, Islamic law, Islamic history, and military history. I also have a weakness for fantasy and science-fiction novels – a problem of which my wife is still trying very hard to cure me...

Shirley Penick Hi, I'm Shirley.

I read and write romance. I read nearly all the romance sub-genre's and currently I'm writing small town contemporary and have two books out with a third coming in March, maybe I'll release it on my birthday, that would be fun!

I've been an avid reader all my life, starting as a kid reading Nancy Drew, went through a sci-fi phase as a young mother with Star Wars and Star Trek fan fiction. Then settled into romance with a few other genres thrown in on occasion.

I was born and raised in the Denver area, lived 9 years in Hawaii (big island mostly) and have been in the Seattle area for almost 9 years. I started writing just a couple of years ago, but it's so much fun and the writing community and the romance community is awesome.

Looking forward to making connections!

My name is Kayla, I am a booklover recently turned book blogger with a good friend of mine. We started Books, Boxes & Baubles
http://www.booksboxesandbaubles.com

We are still getting the grasp of things but it's been wonderful so far. The plan is to share our love of books, and the wide variety of genres we enjoy. I've added so many books to my TBR in the last month and can't wait to add even more :)

I look forward to meeting more people and can't wait to see what the next year brings. :)

message 1917: by Jon (new)

Jon Zelig Hi All,

I’m Jon Zelig. I write (pretty explicit) erotica, with a femdom skew—some work takes place in a “Gynarchic” context, in either a contemporary alternate reality or in the future (with some scifi elements).

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

My sister, Joy Zelig, writes with more of a maledom skew—although, to switch things up, some of her work is “inter-genre-ational,” for example, her series in progress, “A Bisexual Femdom Romance, Book I: Grace: Under Pressure.”

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I aspire to produce “kink that makes you think,” with well fleshed out contexts, characters, and relationships. One of the things that I find appealing about exploring power exchange relationships is that they lay bare some of the sub-textual dynamics that undergird all relationships.

If sex is just “gym class,” a set of mechanical exercises and descriptions: who cares? When it’s clear that the characters care about each other: the reader (hopefully) cares.

Interested both in reviewing and being reviewed. Almost forty works by Jon available for review (free ebooks provided on request), a dozen or so by Joy; links above.

Thx!
JZ

Laura Agnella Hi, I'm Laura and I've been a member for a while but haven't really been very active. I'm a teacher resource specialist for technology in NJ and I also co-host the #sixtybooks yearly reading challenge and run my own book blog. Love reading of course and participate in several challenges myself each year. Favorite genre is really anything that keeps me turning the pages but I do have a particular fondness for steampunk, paranormal, and young/new adult fantasy.
Laura :)

message 1925: by Susan (new)

Susan Keene Hi, I'm Susan Keene, thanks for inviting me to this group. I write cozy mysteries, crime/thrillers and when I get an idea, I write a children's books. When you add children's with adult books, I have seven published.
I write full time. My favorite quote is : A book is a dream you hold in your hand, (Neil Gaiman).
Reading is my second passion and the next is hunting treasure with a metal detector or a rare earth magnate. Sometimes I find something, but is more about the walk, sunshine and nature. My new book was released yesterday by Black Opal Books. The Amazon link is http:// tinyurl.com/hywgm8n

message 1929: by Michael (new)

Michael Lantrip I'm Michael Lantrip, and I write Nonfiction. I am looking for someone who would like to read and review "How To Do A Section 1031 Like Kind Exchange." It is about real estate, taxation, investing, law, etc. It would be boring if you have no interest in these things, but would be fascinating if you do. Let me know. Thanks.

message 1933: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Almeida The name's Daniel Almeida, but Daniel or simply Dev is just fine. Spent most of my school years writing fanfiction, the most of it is currently poster on deviantart as well as some original short stories.
I've been without a job for about 6 years, so decided to start doing something I'd enjoy, which is writing. And after moreover a year my very first book is finished as well as published and it's called The Chronicles of A Lost Acadian. The hardest part, however, is not done yet, which is to get people's attention, but I hope one day it might.

Michael Lantrip So, is that it?
Do we have a process of listing books for reading and review, or is this just a chat room?
I guess I'm missing the point of being here.

Our group was created to help authors and readers make connections. Authors can share with other authors there experiences, ask questions if they need help ect.

Besides authors there are people like me who just love to read and have blogs where we promote the books we read and review.

This thread is a place to say hi and introduce yourself.

If your interested in signing up to have your book listed in our group you can sign up under the ARR Program - Authors Sign Up Thread.

There are a lot of other threads in the group, have a look around and I hope you find something to your liking.

Erica Robyn Metcalf Hey Everyone!

I just came across this group and I'm so excited to read through the various posts here!

My name is Erica and I run a blog called Erica Robyn Reads that I started in December. I'm still working on the template, layout, pages, and such. So I would love any constructive criticism!

Here's my link:
http://ericarobynreads.blogspot.com

As for what I read, I'm kind of all over the place. I really enjoy mystery and horror. Though I keep getting stuck in a YA cycle. And don't get me wrong, I like YA a lot as well, I just need to make sure to mix it up! :)

Can't wait to "meet" you all!

message 1947: by Dominique (new)

Dominique Smith Hello, I go by D. A. Smith. I love writing sci-fi, but I've just written a new non-fiction flash read called The Life Major Way. I went to college, learned I couldn't decide on a major, I got fed-up with the way the establishment worked, so I pursued my own major, and it's called life. I also blog at TheLifeMajor.com, and I love cardio kickboxing. Thanks for having me.
