[Dany Rae]

Hey everyone. I'm Dany Rae Miller, a paranormal romance author.

I believe in the power of love and in the power of books. Put the two together and, bam, it's magic. :)

Don't worry, I promise not to spam the group. I'm here mostly to learn what readers like and don't like.

[Jessica]

Hi everyone! My name is Jessica. I'm a huge fan of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. I read a variety of different types of books but UF and PNR are my favorites. I've been a fan of both for years. I'm glad I found this group. I can't wait to connect with other readers!

[Kira]

I'm Kira Shayde. I love reading paranormal (particularly shifters), urban fantasy, sci-fi and fantasy. I do enjoy romance in the story, but a great adventure without the romance is good too.

My novella, "Bane of Her Desire", (erotic romance, (paranormal, suspense) was just released from Loose Id. Set in Africa with lion and hyena shifters.

[Elizabeth]

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Hinders and even though it's been a little while since I've read a paranormal romance (I'm more into horror, Stephen King-esque stuff at the moment), but I've always had respect for those in the genre for being able to write such books without falling onto every cliche.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in English, and attended grad school for a few years with a concentration in Literature. The only serious writing I have done was for NaNo in 2010? But I mostly create art nowadays. Still, it's nice to be here and maybe find quality literature to read!

[Jessica]

Hi everyone! I have recently gotten into reading paranormal romance novels after finally reading the Twilight series. I couldn't let go, so I decided to read similar novels. Before this I mostly read fantasy, romance, and historical romance. So far I would have to say this is my new favorite genre for its mix of fantasy with romance! I'm so glad that I've found this group.

Since reading The Twilight Saga, I have also read The Host and am currently reading Graceling . I'm very excited to discover new books!

[Dilyla]

Hi I'm Aubree

[Geraldine]

Hello everyone, Im Geraldine. I am a huge PNR fan. I love series like Immortals after dark and Kate Daniels. I also have discovered a new series called Blood and flames, the first installment, had me gripped from the start. I love discovering new authors and their books as well as following my old favorites

[Jan]

Hi I am Janis aka Jan. My friend got me hooked on paranormal romance. I didn't even know about this line of books! I was in love at first read which was a Sherlyn Kenyon book...I think it was Nights Pleasures.

[Sammy]

Hi Everyone,
I'm Sam and I love paranormal romance. Most of my GR friends read contemporary romance so I wanted to join a group full of paranormal lovers. Sometime I need to fangirl over a series, and I need friends that will can relate to my love of the paranormal.

JR Ward was my first intro to paranormal romance. I just fell in love with Kresley Cole's IAD series and I am eating it up!! Love Cade!!!

[Karen]

Hi, I'm Karen Mead, longtime UF fan and author of The Familiar Series. Some of my favorite UF series include the Mercy Thompson series (duh, I know), the Hollows (even though I hate Rachel with a passion that actually scares me), and the EARLY Anita Blake books. Still fairly early in the Harry Dresden and Kate Daniels series, but enjoying both so far.

I also like Catherine Kittredge's Black London series, but her books are too short and after book 4 I no longer felt like paying $7.99 for them -___-. Oh well, someday....

I'm fairly new to the PNR side of the equation and I would like to read some of the better series there, so I'll be skimming the boards for recommendations.

Nice to be here and happy reading:)

I'm continually looking for books within my budget. School Bus Drivers don't make a lot. I have found several indie authors that I loved to read. They are Colleen Vanderlinden: Hidden Series, Erin Manbecki: The Gifted Trilogy, C.M. Owens: Deadly Beauties, The Cursed, and many more trilogies. Try these out. Let me know what you think. I have more that I could give you to look at. Happy Reading!!!

[Elen]

Hello, I'm Elen Sentier I love mixtures of romance and the paranormal. My ult fave is Terri Windling's "The Wood Wife" - am on my 3rd copy now as it gets so dog-eared! Wish it was on Kindle. I also love gentle hinting things such as Mary Stewart's romances and her Merlin trilogy.

Relationships, their growth and/or disintegration and their complexity, are perhaps the most important things in reading for me. Looking forward to finding more to read through this group.

[Karin]

Hi I'm Karin Shah. I have three pnr (one about a vampire and a witch, and two w shifters) out with Soul Mate Publishing and a SFR w Samhain.

Soul Mate is super affordable their full length novels range from 2.99 to 3.99 in e.

As a reader I love Kresley Cole's IAD, Larissa Ione's Demonica and when I see DH written in an email I read Dark Hunter, as in Sherrilyn Kenyon's series, not Dear Husband.*g*

In TV I love Teen Wolf, Supernatural, Sleepy Hollow and Person of Interest (for example):-)

The last book I read was Reaver by Larissa Ione. I'm looking forward to Revanant in December!

Here's my amazon author page if you want to take a look.

[L.G.]

Hi, I'm Liz.

I'm a huge urban fantasy and paranormal romance fan - both adult & YA. My Goodreads bookshelf has only a partial list of the books I've read over the last several years.

I've binge read my way through J.R. Ward, Charlaine Harris, Kerrelyn Sparks, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Laurell K. Hamilton, Chloe Neill, Cassandra Clare, Lauren Kate, P.C. Cast, to name some - many in paperback, so you can imagine what my bookshelves look like at home :-) I think I kept my local Barnes & Noble in business for about a year. I'm waiting for the trade paperback of J.R. Ward's book THE KING to arrive this month in the mail... That said, my Kindle has a nice selection of books too.

Anyway, that's me as a reader. As a writer, you can find the first book in my Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance series, TRINITY STONES, right here on Goodreads :-)

Thanks! Glad to be a member of this group...

U R so welcomed. It's a great place to chat about books and making friends. I encourage anyone to invite me as a friend. Word of mouth goes a long way.

[Susan]

Hi, I'm Susan. I just recently published The Timeless Ones, a historical fantasy about 17th century witch, Merry Chalmers and her escape to modern-day Salem.

I love all sorts of fiction, but lean heavily toward fantasy. My latest favorites are the "Daughter of Smoke & Bone" series by Laini Taylor, and the "Under the Never Sky" series by Veronica Rossi.

Looking forward to seeing what others are reading and talking about.

Hi Susan! I am in the process of reading the "Daughter of Smoke and Bone" series myself. LOVE it!

[Mayko]

Hi,

I'm happy to be here and look forward to talking about books and making friends :)

[Cassandra]

Hi, I'm Cass! I've been a member of Goodreads for a couple of years now, but this is my first time looking into the world of groups. (Please be gentle with me!)

I love all kinds of speculative fiction, from high fantasy to light sci-fi, but my favourite genre is definitely urban fantasy. I've loved it since I was a teenager, when I didn't know what it was called. (I described it as "books set in the real world but with supernatural elements" - which is one of many reasons I shouldn't be allowed to name things.) This was back when I was reading "Interview With a Vampire" by Anne Rice and the "Diana Tregarde" series by Mercedes Lackey (yes, I'm old). I love the way the genre has exploded over the past decade or so.

I live in Australia, where I work as a full-time editor (not in publishing, though; I edit boring technical documents). I'm also a novelist.

I don't watch much TV these days. Being a single mum means I don't have much spare time. My favourite shows are "Doctor Who" and "Castle" (because Nathan Fillion).

Thanks! :)

Cass

[Ari]

Hey everyone. I'm Noir (or so I'd have you believe ;)), 28, reader, writer, aspiring gamer. I fell in love with paranormal books after reading Dark Lover by J. R. Ward, and I never looked back. This place seemed lovely, cozy, and I couldn't resist. I'll look forward to discussing some great books with you all.

[Ingrid]

Hi, I am Ingrid Hall, I love the paranormal romance genre. I am publishing the first in a series of erotic romances based around the real-life Newcastle Witch Trials on 18th October 2014. (Under my pen name Luna Ballantyne) I will admit that for all I have been a member of GoodReads for a while, I haven't had a chance to really participate in many groups, but I am looking to get active! I am not sure if it is okay to post links to my sites in this thread, so I won't! However, I am looking forward to chatting with you all and finding out more about you!

[Brent]

Merry Meet,

My name is Brent and I love to read and write. My first novel was Blue Swords by Robin McKinley which was fantasy and that pretty much has stayed consistent. Though I switched to Romance novels specifically because I am almost guarenteed a happy ending. I prefer avoiding 'tragedy' in life, let alone seeking it as 'entertainment'.

I hope to be published at some point but have a couple blocks that I am going through at this time.

I love the Twilight series of books Twilight, Vampire Diaries, Morganville Vampires, et cetera. I disfavor reading people trying to tear down Twilight, or any other book, in order to 'build up' whatever novel they favor more. I am of the belief that two or three candles {favorite books} provides more illumination than one.

Yesterday I finished reading the second book of the Morganville Vampires but I am vexed with whether to continue reading or not. I am uncertain whether the author will 'turn' the protagonist.

I enjoy science fiction and steampunk as well. I loved the first two books to "Infernal Devices" and the entire "Touched by an Alien" series by Gina. I loved Ender's Game but I am a bit weird and wished there was an actual romance between Ender and the sister. I am an only child so I have little idea where this interest came from... Well for Ender's Game, it came from a lack of any romance.

Thank you for sharing your Force; And may the Goddess bless you.

[Ken]

Hi people!

[Kimiko]

Hi everyone! My name is Kimi and I'm a recently new author with a book coming out in February. Promo to go in the promo group soon. I've been lurking for a while. I'm sorry I haven't said much.

I love urban fantasy and created a podcast for it I love it so much! Larissa Ione and Laurall K Hamilton are my favorite authors. Anita Blake helped me get through my book. (If I spelled her name wrong it's because it's late and I'm toasted).

I live in NJ and I'm 42. I'm not sure what else to say except I love reading your posts. :)

Kimi

[Dina]

Hi, my name is Dina Haynes and I've been reading PNR and UF for about 8 years. I, like many of you started with Laurell K. Hamilton and Sherrilyn Kenyon then branched out. Since college, when I first got into Romance books, I knew someday I'd write one. Or more. It wasn't until I was introduced to PNR/UF that I was inspired to put pen to paper. Literally. *snicker*

Now, my favorite authors are Kim Harrison, JR Ward, and Darynda Jones. I am also heavily influenced by Stephen King who is the author who got me into reading in the first place.

Being a huge horror fan influences my movie and TV tastes, as well. Exorcist is my all time favorite movie and I'm a huge Walking Dead and Supernatural fan, amongst many others.

I'm excited to share stories and opinions with you all. See you in the threads...

Dina

[Alan]

Hello everyone - my name is Alan Kleinberger, and I'm quite a bit older than most of the kind folks posting here. Forgive my occasional creakiness when it comes to social media - but I can remember communicating on manual typewriters!

I've been reading SF and fantasy since I was a kid; favorite authors include Alfred Bester, Barry N. Malzberg (a friend of mine), Philip K. Dick and Theodore Sturgeon.

In recent years, after having worked for a time in the world of publishing, and later becoming an attorney, I've been drawn back to the SF/fantasy field. I even wrote a novel and published it at Amazon Kindle - a young adult vampire novel (so much for breaking new ground!). I don't have as much time to read as I'd like, and even less time to write, but I'm trying to keep up, and if anyone posts about a work of fiction that's more than a couple of decades old, chances are that I've read it already!

I hope to be able to contribute.

[Prismseven]
