Introductions
Welcome Ethan, Billiejo, Veronica and Jamie! It's a pleasure having you join our group!
Hi Jamie! Welcome to the group! It sounds like you have a really good set-up for writing. Lots of quiet and the forest for nature walks. Nice!! Thanks for the heads up on the free download for your novel; we always like those. Heading over to check that out now. ; ) Welcome again! Good luck with the writing!
Hi, Veronica, and welcome to the group! We are thrilled to have you! Teenage girls are lots of fun, but they keep you on your toes! The good thing is they keep you feeling young! ; ) We are so glad that you have joined our group. We love books, too!
"Mel, I love everyone on your list. Have you read any Edmund Crispin, Anne Katherine Green, S.S. Van Dyke or Sax Rohmer?".I've read a Violet Strange story but I think that's about it. I say "think" because I've got a few compilations and second hand books on my shelf and can never remember all the authors.
Hi everyone - I'm Kim, married, and live in CT, and catmommie to Chippee the calico princess. I read mostly mystery stuff, but like historical fiction, too. I work as an Avon rep and do a lot of volunteering in our church.
Welcome here Kim! So good to see you again!

Hi! I'm Jean from Southern Georgian transplanted from the Chicago area. I love books and have too many. I enjoy mysteries and thrillers but read many other genres as well. My favorite author is James Lee Burke. My other favorite mystery/thriller authors are Michael Connelly, Sue Grafton, Sarah Paretsky, Nicci French, Randy Wayne White and many others. With the success of the Dragon Tattoo series I have been reading many foreign authors like James Thompson, Jo Nesbo, Giles Blunt, Louise Penny, Michael Robotham, Cara Black, and Henning Mankell to name a few. I just finished "Blood Moon" by Garry Disher that is Australian and am currently reading Denise Mina from Scotland. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Thanks! I've missed you guys. Life is just crazy sometimes. I've read most of the posts and kept my books updated but haven't had much time to actually reply to posts sadly. But I'll have something new for you guys soon :) I'll send out an email to everyone when I have it ready.

My name is Jamie Sheffield, and I'm still pretty new to Goodreads, and just finding my way into the groups.
I have loved reading mysteries since I got my hands on an Encyclopedia Brown book when I was 8. I enjoy reading all sorts of mysteries, especially authors like Lawrence Block and John Sandford, and generally have 2-4 books going at any given moment.
I'm a Special Education Teacher in Lake Placid, NY. I live in a small house in the middle of a big forest with my wife and son and rescue dogs (Miles and Puck).
I love reading and camping and canoeing and cooking.
I wrote and published my first novel (a mystery) in the last year, and if you're interested, you can find out more about it on my GoodReads page (there's a FREE excerpt to download).
Thanks,
Jamie Sheffield
