Welcome all!!

[Bernadette]

Hi, I'm Bernadette and live in a suburb outside of New York City. I'm a social worker who currently works in child abuse/neglect investigation. Reading and spending time with my rescue dog provide some relief from stress. I love mysteries and thrillers. I look forward to getting recommendations and having nice conversations with other mystery lovers.

[Ed]

Hi, just joined goodreads. I was a foster child who later graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. I went on to be an Airborne Infantry Ranger, a RAND Corporation Fellow, an aerospace systems engineer, and a community activist fighting to protect water resources in California. Along the way, I became a national award-winning author by weaving my real-world experiences from foxhole to space into my contemporary adventure/thrillers. I've published 3: Gold Lust, Gold Raid, & Gold Fire. Took a break from being an author when my wife became ill. I'm back in the game now and just published the eBook version of my work. Glad to be here.

Thanks. I just purchased a camper and will be doing more campsite cooking but with electricity. Can you recommend a good campsite cookbook for simple, fast, taste meals?

Nope. Sorry. I haven't been camping since 1987.

[Coleen]

Hello 👋🏻

I’m Coleen. I live in Jersey with my husband and 2 Jack Russells, Bodhi and Sawyer. I have 4 grandpuppies and love when they all come to visit. And of course I love reading and being kidnapped by a great book! Right now I’m reading #3 in the Jane Hawk series by Dean Koontz, who is one of my favs.

Im looking forward to making new friends!

[Kirsten]

Four Jack Russells? My, you're a brave woman!! My neighbor has one and I've always thought that was sufficient.

I have only one dog now: an Australian Shepherd mix who just turned 19!!!

Welcome to the group!!

[Coleen]

Thank you for the welcome Kirstie :)

I have the two Jacks. My daughter has one Jack and a big white mix she just rescued. My son has two pomeranians. So when all together, we have six dogs but not all Jacks. I love all dogs! All animals!

I really find it difficult to navigate these chats on GR's. Is it me? Is it maybe easier on a computer than a phone?

[Coleen]

Sorry, Kirsten, not Kirstie. Guess we can't edit comments either, huh?

[Kirsten]

I don't use the app very often. But in my experience - yes - much more difficult. You can edit on the computer, but not on the phone.

[Sean, Moderator]

Caught me off guard when you said Jersey.

Then I realised New Jersey.

I am from Jersey, CI ,UK !

Hi Sean & thanks for the welcome!

Sorry about the confusion. Yes, New Jersey. Didn't realize I did that, but doing this chat from my phone didn't go well, LOL! Much easier on laptop. I didn't know there was another Jersey! Nice to meet you! Thanks again for the welcome ;)

[Adam]

Hi everyone. I’m Adam, and I’m from Jo’burg, South Africa.

I’m a very mixed bag, and when people ask me what I do, I hesitate because the list is long. I’m a tech entrepreneur, and CEO of a company I started in 1997 as a one man show. I lecture part time for University of Stellenbosch in management and leadership, mainly to entrepreneurs and middle management. I’ve never worked a job for longer than a year, and haven’t had more than 4 of those ever. I play guitar, sing and write songs sometimes too. My kids are musical so we occasionally gig together which is the coolest thing ever. I write fiction in my spare time. I’m exceptionally happily married, and we have 4 kids, 4 cats and 4 dogs. And a Pekingese that doesn’t count.

[Kirsten]

Welcome Adam!

4 kids, 4 cats, 4 dogs.... do you have 4 wives too?
