Hi Ranell welcome to the group!

Hi, my name is Angela. I write Christian inspirational fiction.
My stories have a underlying message for readers that bring hope and healing. My latest novel deals with bipolar disorder and how the disease affects the entire family. But it offers a healing place for suffers and their families.

I teach creating writing and moderate a critique group at the Largo community center, in Largo, Florida.

Welcome Angela!

Hi, I'm Alan. I write murder/mysteries--but all MUST have humor in them. Because of a brain injury, I'm in a nursing home. I haven't written much while here--and I hate that! Get depressed, sometimes. Bye!

Hi everyone! My name is Eileen O'Finlan. My debut novel, Kelegeen, published by BWL Publishing, Inc. was released on March 1, 2018. So far it's received almost all 5 star reviews on Amazon and two 5 star reviews from Readers' Favorite. It is historical fiction set in Ireland during the Great Hunger (aka potato famine). I am currently in the research phase for the sequel.

I read and write across genres, but historical fiction is my favorite.

I'm really looking forward to interacting with this group.

Hello everyone!
I am Sofi Bautista, I present myself for the first time to the Amazon Literary Award Contest 2018, with my Novel Debut "Down" Because true love, does not know about math! This in Spanish Language, in case you want to encourage reading. It is a romantic comedy with high doses of reflection on the prejudice against people born with some syndrome or disability. Super recommended, yes, warning: When you finish reading the book, you may experience intense desire to hug your children and never let go.
Also, they may want to lynch the author.
I sincerely hope that those who speak or understand Spanish can read it and tell me how it seemed to them. It is available for you to read for free on Kindle Unlimited.DOWN: Porque el verdadero amor, no sabe de matemáticas.

Glad to have you here Alan!

Hello Angela, Alan, Eileen & Sofi welcome to the group!

Hello. I'm Alicya Perreault living in Calgary, Alberta and I've written and recently self-published Taming Crazy: Confessions and Lessons A part memoir, part self-help book on my journey through crippling anxiety, depression, and OCD and how I climbed out of the rabbit hole. I share all the lessons I discovered with raw honesty, humour, and the occasional swear word (sorry)
I'm just beginning the marketing part (ugh!) I look forward to reading the posts here.

Hello Alicya welcome to the group!

Thanks Tana!

Hello everyone! I'm Laura Cantu and I write paranormal and middle-grade/Children's fantasy books. My book, Betwixters, was recently published by Winterwolf Press. I love dancing and being one with nature. I am a big Harry Potter fan, too! It's so mice to meet you all!

Hello Laura welcome to the group!

Hello everyone! My name is Rachael and I'm an avid reader and book collector, occasional writer, and photographer/blogger.

My blog/website is http://rachaelanthoney.com and I'm also starting to become more involved in the bookstagram community. You can find me at http://instagram.com/rachaelanthoney.

I'm a sucker for a gorgeous cover or sleeve. I love, love YA and NA fiction as well as historical fiction, classics, and biographies. I also go through spurts of being obsessed with one genre for awhile before flitting to the next. Right now, I'm all about the Shades of Magic Trilogy so if you want to fangirl about Lila and Kell (mostly Lila), hit me up!

My goal is to finally start (and finish) an MA in Publishing and figure out a place in the industry where I can flourish. I'm really excited to be in this group!

Hi I'm Susannah Shannon, I have recently transitioned to indie publishing and I still have so much to learn

Hello everyone. My name is David A. Wimsett. I am an eclectic reader and enjoy books from a variety of genres. I carry a book with me wherever I go. I enjoy fiction and non-fiction. I love to wander through bookstores to discover new works and new authors. It is a delight to find well written books with themes or subjects that challenge me.

I have been writing professionally for decades. I have published short stories and about a year ago I started an independent publishing house to release my first novel. I am working on a second book.

I am a member of the Writer's Union of Canada, the Canadian Media Guild and the Professional Writers Association of Canada.

It is my pleasure to be a part of this group.

Hi, David,

It's great to meet you online. My writing background is similar to yours in that I've published short stories, too. I'm a Pushcart Prize nominee. I worked as a writer in corporate America for many years, and I've also thought about starting my own small publishing house to bring my work into the world. I'm a Goodreads Author and you can feel free to contact me at dianerosiermiles@gmail.com if you ever want to talk shop.

Hello all, My name is Tom Catino & I live in Madison, Wi. My partner & I are working to gain some knowledge about self-publishing. Lesley Laws, my partner, is a new Author looking to expand her reach & getting ready to self-publish a series of Dragon Fantasy novels. I am assisting her. We will be looking for reviewers, editors, artist, & other assistance. We have been active on Facebook but realized Goodreads is the place to be in order to reach more readers. This is a link to our Facebook page "Tales from Dragondom & Beyond" please take a look if this sparks some interest. https://www.facebook.com/Tales-from-D... We would appreciate any feedback. Thank You ...
