M.L. Shanahan (mlshanahan) | 6 comments Hi friends! I am humbled to be a part of this group. I am an Australian self published author. I love to read. My genres of interest are wide. I love anything from a good horror to a uplifting self help book. I have a background in journalism, I love to travel. I am a popcorn crunching movie buff. I love movie memorabilia. Feel free to follow or add me on Goodreads.

I collect pop vinyl figures and I am a big disney freak. Despite my first novel being a crime thriller.

I love to inspire others through words.

Have a magical day,
Michelle.

Daniel Kemp (goodreadscomdanielkemp) | 5275 comments Good evening and hello, I feel it my civic duty to introduce myself....I'm English for a start so the sense of humour is misplaced for many to understand.
I was not attracted to writing novels because of my mother, father or aunt Doris telling me how much talent I had as most of the time I had with them I spent either playing rugby or chasing girls or women. Therefore the literary world would not have shaken to its roots had I not found a liking towards it. I hope I find a happy band of thrilling people in this group and we all have fun.

Daniel Kemp (goodreadscomdanielkemp) | 5275 comments That's the girl next door to me, well, at least she was. Moved in last week when I knocked on her door and asked if she had any foot bandages.

Daniel Kemp (goodreadscomdanielkemp) | 5275 comments May I ask if that is really you Amber, in the photograph? If it is would you mind if I popped over and discussed our next cosy mystery together?


message 7912: by Amber (last edited Oct 18, 2017 01:32PM) (new)

Amber Martingale I wish it were, Daniel. It's a picture of my former STAR WARS RP character from Facebook. I got it from a lady friend. Her character was married to a Keshiri Sith Lord named Eclipsefire.


message 7913: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Kemp (goodreadscomdanielkemp) | 5275 comments Well, they do say that we all have someone out there. I suppose that Eclipsefire finally found his. Poor girl! Ah, but alas. What to do? As I'm 68 I'm perfectly at home with disappointments handed down from beautiful women. In your case, I'll dream of Stars but not Wars and hope to speak again, Amber.


message 7914: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Well, though my character was part of a STAR WARS RP, she was married to a Turian from Mass Effect...go figure. My lady friend was also involved in the STAR WARS RP until Facebook started cracking down on ALL RP, not just STAR WARS... .


message 7915: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Kemp (goodreadscomdanielkemp) | 5275 comments I'm completely lost with the RP thing.


message 7916: by Amber (last edited Oct 19, 2017 11:15AM) (new)

Amber Martingale If you mean the letters, that meant "Role Play." But if you mean t the plot, don't worry. I'm kinda lost now too since I haven't been on Facebook in more than three years. Short version of that story is that I got frustrated when I forgot a password and didn't wanna rejoin with a new password because it would have meant weeks of rebuilding my contacts, groups and reestablishing my character in the role plays.

Short version of that sto..." I totally know what you mean about passwords. I did perhaps think RP meant Regional Pronunciation. Glad we've cleared that up.

Bookworm | 13 comments Hi everyone
My name is Dee. I'm from the west coast of Canada and new to the group. I'm a working mom with 2 teenaged kids so life can get pretty hectic! I've been an avid reader for a long time but only recently started getting more connected in the reading community. I thought joining this group would be a nice way to connect with people who enjoy reading as much as I do and hear about good/not so good book recommendations.

Lee Sherred (leesherredauthor) | 36 comments Evening ladies and gents...or at least it is here in the UK at the moment. I'm new to the group so figured I should probably introduce myself. I'm Lee and, apparently, I write "chillingly realistic" dark action/thrillers.

A bit about me, I've been a martial artist, competitive fighter, soldier and police officer for far too many years than I care to remember now. A lot of my subject matter, especially of the more graphic nature, are normally inspired by my own, personal experiences. I think, because of this, the level in which I can describe these scenes has been a bit of a shock to some readers! haha

Anyway, that wasn't meant to turn into a half-arsed plug so I'll stop writing now. Looking forward to being an active member.

Thanks

Lee

Indeed we are friendly....

Book Social, 3-4 ladies professors teaching at Universities, have spent 2-3 years studying the internet and physical book clubs.

Their response and conversations I have had with them has been so interesting. The two things that I am so proud of...

We were voted one of the most friendliest groups on the internet.

One of the fastest growing Book groups on the internet...

With some great topics, which I note have been copied by many other groups...

The most important is to stay friendly, polite and interesting.

Please do enjoy yourself, some many great subjects to enjoy
