Hello good folk. My name is Chris G. Wright, I am from Greece (though half Irish) and made my way into the self-publishing world with my debut novel The Alliance. I enjoy anything that's sci-fi and/or fantasy, whether it's books, games or movies - anything that stirs the imagination and helps me come up with new things to write.I'm currently writing a 6-volume post-apocalyptic/alien invasion series The Evox Chronicles. I've got a long road ahead of me, and with plenty of learning curves along the way. I guess, life's that way. Anyway, I'm hoping I'll get to know you all, share thoughts, knowledge, jokes, share and receive reviews and discovering new books.
Hi all,
My name is Ruth and I'm the quintessential bookworm. I've also just published my first book to Amazon (non-fiction). I run an organisation called The Pretty Awesome Project which raises awareness about healthy self-esteem to teens and women, and writing this book was a natural extension of that. Its a very surreal feeling seeing my own book that I poured my soul into appearing on Amazon.... like, I'm a REAL author now! LOL I read almost everything; sometimes I forget that there's a real world out there! Looking forward to making good, lasting connections here.

Hi, I'm a big fan of sci-fi and fantasy, and have recently joined Goodreads. I'm on my way to become a fiction reviewer, and one day I will have read enough books and written enough reviews to set up my own blog.My real name is Matt.
Hello Ruth & Matt welcome to the group!
Hello, I'm Stephanie Jackson. I write and I'm a goodreads writer Nice to meet you all and be in your fabulous group!!!
hello to all.....hi I am George CallejaDuring the years 1990 to 1996 I was a full time missionary with ‘The International Catholic Programme for Evangelization - ICPE’ and have evangelized in various countries, such as Russia, Ghana, Poland, Germany, and Malta amongst others. Since 1997, I am married and am an active member of the Focolare Movement in Malta.
During the six years of my life as a missionary with ICPE’, to share His Love in different countries, I did face the challenge of saying ‘Yes’ to Him. It was a difficult decision to make, as I had to leave everything behind: my family, my friends, giving up my job... But as I had a deep faith in Him, I told Him 'Yes’... I will follow You... trusting, that he would take care of me in all aspects of my life. That prayer of mine opened the doors for me to give my ‘Yes’ to Him... to follow Him.
In the following six years as a missionary, and also after that time, Jesus has always taken care of me, has always provided me with blessings and grace, and has also taken care of me financially. Through faith, and my personal relationship with Him, He has taught me how to trust Him, and how to really follow Him freely and in peace.
During my time as a missionary with ‘ICPE’, I recall going through different sacrifices. There were times when as a group we performed a mime in the streets of Germany and other countries, to bring forth the message of Salvation, together with our testimonies and preaching. It wasn’t the first time that people watching us made fun of us, laughed at us and ridiculed us. I used to feel the pain… but during the same occasion, I would see other people receiving our message of hope and desiring Jesus… that would encourage me to keep on going spreading the Good News!
Many times, I have turned to Him in prayer for direction in life. He has always shown me the way in these situations. He has shown me what to do and what to say.
My recent experience of Jesus showing me the way, is precisely of writing Christian books. Since the early nineties when I was a missionary, I always felt this desire inside me to write books with a Christian theme. I never really understood what this meant, or maybe I did not take up the challenge at that time. Maybe, I never had the time to do it! Still, over these years I kept feeling that He wanted it from me! Since that time, it has always been in my heart… but it was never fulfilled!
My ‘Yes’ to take up this challenge happened in November 2014, and since then, I have published five Christian books. God has paved the way for me to do it. I do sacrifice myself to write these books, as it needs time to write and to publish. But, I thank Him, that through this challenge, although it is tough, it is also peaceful and it is rewarding to see other people appreciating my work, and receiving the messages I write… which are based on Jesus’ love to us, that is, His Salvation.
My writings are a simple message of encouragement for life, to make the reader think about what life is all about, and to give the reader a challenge to live life through God's Love. My writings are based on my Christian values, and I try to reach out to all people in the world, whatever their belief is, as I believe that every person is able to love his neighbour. So through my writings, I present the message to the readers to have this personal relationship with God and to love every person through God's love.
So, I do appreciate your prayers and support, that I may continue to publish Christian books. And finally I hope that you enjoy my writings and be blessed by reading them.

Thanks,

Hi, my name is Sheena Macleod and I am from Scotland. I have been a member of Goodreads for a number of years- reading and reviewing. I recently published my first novel, an historical fiction set in the 17th century and based on actual events and real characters. An avid reader and beta reader, I am interested in all aspects of writing and reviewing.I read lots of genres but prefer some fact to my fiction. It has to be believable.

The Soul Guide Hello I'm Kelly Stock, author of The Soul Guide out now in Amazon. This is my first book and I am VERY new to the world of self-publishing. I've already made a ton of mistakes on my journey so far, and although its completely overwhelming I am obstinate and WILL get through it! I'm looking forward to connecting to like minded readers and authors and am certainly down for doing review swaps.

Hello Sara and Andrew welcome to the group!
Hi all,My name is Jiri Soukup and I am a sea captain and author of the novel On Moving Mountains, a "Great Love Story, an Exciting Escape Story and a Fascinating Portrait of Czechoslovakia of the Late Sixties".
I'm looking for someone willing to read and send a honest review for my book.
Here is a short description of the plot:
When searching for true love, Michal and Danna face immense obstacles and stir up a lot of trouble. This tale of passion from a little known segment of European history involves spy-like plotting, wars, and personal ambition. The beliefs of the protagonists conflict with the existing laws, and all this leads to a gripping adventure that crosses borders and continents. Yet this is a poetic and often funny story. Michal and Danna are in love and, for them, life is beautiful even when the world is collapsing around them. Their life journey is presented in four parts which differ in pace and mood like in a symphony. Could they remain separated, forever? Will they go to prison? Will the children who lost their fathers eventually find them? Start this book, and you won’t stop until you reach the end.
I also invite all of you to enter my giveaway here:

Thank you and best regards,
Jiri
Hi! I'm Dominique, and I've just finished a 6 book series for Young Adult girls based in the world of Formula 2 Stock Car racing. Now I defy you to find another of those in the world! I'm fairly new to Goodreads but I'm loving it... I've joined this group because I like reading books to review and because I always welcome reviews for my own books. I'm trying to make up for all those years I never left a review when I read a book, and now I'm an author myself I realise that authors really need those reviews from us! Mea Culpa...
Hi everyone.It's super to be here and I have been looking for a group like this for a long time. I'm sure I will be an active member here.
I am an author of 8 titles and have been in this business for over 25 years. I write in almost every fiction genre and have also published around another 20+ freelance pieces.
I also run KKantas Author Assist, services for new and established indie authors.
I know how difficult being an indie is and understand how expensive marketing and promotion is, especially you don't have the time to do it yourself.
I help out as many indie authors as I can. My days almost 24/7 (insomnia) are spent online working. I volunteer on many projects such as the Brain to Books Cyber Convention and Plaisted Publishing House Sponsorship program.
And I have my own radio show on the Artist First Radio Network the station averages around 80,000 listeners (that includes recorded shows) I interview indie authors, we have a cosy chat, we talk about the industry and of course marketing. I have a Q & A session about promoting and marketing and I also feature an indie band in the break.
So I do keep myself busy. I'm thankful to be here and hope I can help out when I can.
Thank you from sunny Greece :)
