message 4352: by Hiawatha (new)

Hiawatha Bray Greetings! My name is Hiawatha Bray. I'm a reporter for the Boston Globe and a first-time novelist. My debut novel, "Power in the Blood,' features a cold-hearted but devoutly religious journalist who is drawn into an international conspiracy when a beautiful and brilliant computer scientist is nearly murdered in his church.

I'm looking forward to answering questions about my book and learning from you the best ways to get it into as many hands as possible. Thanks much.

Ruthie Hello!



I'm an avid book reader and reviewer and I run a bookstagram & TikTok @ram_reads with over 2,000 followers



I love helping to support indie published(small publishing house) and self-published authors.



You can hire me to read, review (on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc), create creative feature Instagram/TikTok posts, and conduct an Author Interview with you on Instagram. I have various packages to choose from and my pricing is very reasonable.



I've already worked with several self-published authors and you can reach out to them to see what they thought of my work.



Jenny White author of Break The Chains A story of love against all the odds by Jenny White



Jo Gache author of Zalkea Origins by Jo Gache



Katie Masterman author of The Doll House by Katie Masterman

Brian McMahon author of C.H.O.N.A.S THE INVADER by Brian McMahon



L.L. Lewin author of Neptune's Window First Glance by L.L. Lewin

A.R. Clinton author of Song of Sundering

and AJ Navab author of Daybreak by A.J. Navab



Send me a message here on Goodreads, an email at ram_reads@yahoo.com, or check out my Instagram page @ram_reads to see what the posts would look like and send me a direct message there.



I'll read your synopsis first to see if it sounds like something I would enjoy reading, I read almost anything.



Paying for a review/creative social media posts doesn't guarantee a higher star review. The payment is for my time and for the reach of my platform.



I look forward to hearing from y'all!

My name is Almudena (24, she/her), currently writing to you from Madrid, Spain, where I'm from.

I'm an avid reader of romance, fantasy, new adult and literary fiction. I read in both Spanish and English and review books on my instagram (@littlecitycorner). I studied literature and journalism and am currently writing my first novel.

message 4363: by Ursula (new)

Ursula Mirbach Dears,

I am Ursula, a German national living in Brussels, Belgium and writing in English. In my early 20ies I started working for an international organisation here in Brussels and have eventually quit service after three decades and am now into writing full time. My themes are life within the Brussels international circles, addiction problems and, as some sort of side issue, music, mostly classical.

Earlier this year I have self-published my first novel, confessional literature of sorts, depicting a young woman's descent into alcohol addiction and the double life she leads to keep up appearances vis-a-vis her entourage. The novel contains a critical analysis of the faith-based 12-step programme used at Alcoholics Anonymous as well as an attempt to create a new 8-step programme based on philosophical teachings from antiquity. It is directed towards fellow alcoholics, mental health professionals and everybody interested in the subject.

Greetings from Eurotown 2 all,
Ursula Mirbach

Colin Baldwin Hello all. I'm Colin from Hobart, Tasmania.
I’m a first-time author and still finding my way around Goodreads and the world of publications. Loving it. When I uploaded my favourite books, it really did allow me to reminisce.

A Soldier's Quartet by Colin Baldwin
A Soldier’s Quartet is based on true events and is currently selling well in local bookshops and further afield, therefore I couldn’t be happier.

I also entered a Goodreads 6-book (signed) giveaway and posted off a copy to the winners in USA a week ago, therefore looking foward to hearing from then in due course.

Also, please have a look at my Book Blog if you have the time:

message 4382: by Harri (new)

Harri Hello everyone! My name is Harinette but you can call me Harri for short. I'm from the tiny state of Delaware in the US. I've just recently jumped back into reading and I'm hoping to improve my writing as well. I like reading and writing fantasy stories. I also really like comics and manga.

message 4384: by Mark (new)

Mark Tilbury Hello everyone,
My name is Mark Tilbury and I'm a UK based author of psychological and supernatural thrillers. I also read a lot of both those genres, along with crime and horror fiction. I've self-published 11 novels, and a 12th will be published on the 18th Nov.

I cover some dark topics in my thrillers, and because of this I've been given the nickname 'Twisted Tilbury.' In fact, that name is used more widely by my readers than my real name!

It's great to have found this group. I look forward to seeing what everyone is reading.

Hello hello, my name is Samantha. I run a middle grade book website called www.readingalamode.com. I am dedicated to connecting parents and children with books they love both old and new. I love the middle grade *genre* so much.
I am looking to connect with other individuals who love middle grade books just as much as I do. I'd also love to connect with middle grade authors/publishers to further advance getting this wonderful books out to the general public.
Thanks for having me!

Boshra Rasti Hi everyone,

What a learning curve! I am a debut novelist and my YA, dystopian novel will be available in Feb 2022.

Right now, I am looking to make connections, and offer my ARC to anyone who would like to give an honest review.

Please email me at info@boshrawrites.com if you'd like to review my book!

message 4392: by Eric (new)

Eric P. Caillibot Hello everyone, nice to meet you all!

I actually joined this group a few months ago, but never introduced myself in this discussion. Better late than never!

I am a long-time unknown author who is just starting to get serious about self-publishing. I am working toward (re)launching my first epic fantasy novel on December 15th. I plan to launch the sequel in March 2022.

I am a big fan of the fantasy and science fiction genres, although I regularly sample other genres (that is when I'm not burnt out).

message 4397: by Jody (new)

Jody Hi, I'm Jody. I read books and review them on social media and my blog (https://thesleepyreader.co.uk/). I have been on GoodReads for a long time now but am new to this group (and groups in general on here), I just found you today!

I enjoy reading Mysteries and Thrillers the most, followed by some romance / contemporary fiction, women's fiction and some young adult with a very small amount of fantasy (very picky about this). I really can't get into Sci-fi much to my husband's distress!

I love finding new (to me) authors and love a good cover. I dislike inappropriate sex scenes (where do they even come from?!) and poor filler just to make a book longer.

Thanks for having me here :)

message 4399: by Skylar (last edited Dec 10, 2021 07:45AM) (new)

Skylar Cheung Hi I'm Skylar and I've just published my first novel and joined Goodreads (in that order). I like stories that explore human connections, relationships and romance. My hope is that my book manages to contain a little bit of these elements too.

I'm at that stage now where I've just realised that I have to do more than click 'publish' - if I want someone other than my dog (who yawns every time I speak now) to give the book a try. I've been browsing Goodreads to get some ideas and loved the group name making connections . It's just so apt!

Jeff Hi, I'm Jeff from North Carolina. I am a mental health therapist and while I sometimes read books that are work related, I also read history, historical fiction, mysteries, thrillers and spiritual books.
I'm kinda all over the place.
