WELCOME EVERYONE!

Please help

This is very hard to write, but when I was in the 3rd grade I was bullied so badly I wanted to kill myself. All because I was shy, quiet and awkward. I was thrown in the boy’s bathroom by these 3 particular kids who would punch and kick me as hard as they could. I could barely walk as everyday they would abuse me over, and over again. The other kids in school would just laugh at me and no one helped. In fact, those same kids who watched and knew about my abuse would just join in, tease me, and they even threw food at me during lunch. My mom came to school so much to fight for me, but it didn’t help. I had just about given up living in this world. Somehow God saved me and I found writing. It was an outlet to take me away from the pain I was going through in this world. I wanted to create different characters, and a different world just to escape. Writing really saved my life. Now at 42 I just released my first novel. My Dead Blue Caterpillar. I have to say I still am a bit shy so this is hard for me to ask but I am starting a program and foundation for kids who have and are being bullied any support for my book helps my cause for bullied kids. It’s very inexpensive less than 3 dollars for my book which just received book of the month on Goodreads..I want to thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart for you help to keep our kids safe. Just trying to do a good thing from out of the pain I went through.....

Thank you so much.

Hi, Scout. You and R.D. will both get your "Welcome to the Family" URLs on the second of January because I left my earbuds at home and I am NOT going home to get them. Once I'm home, I'm home for the day especially when the predicted high is below 45 degrees Fahrenheit!

[Christine]

Hello I am Susanne a retired disabled veteran. I fell in love with stories when I was a little girl when I learned about creative writing. I was hooked from that point forward. I love watching real crime stories and love murder mysteries. My favorite is murder mystery and thriller. I think this is why I loved Murder She Wrote so much. My most recent book read was The Outsider by Stephen King. I see some of you are reading it. I live in Mississippi with my Husky and Beagle mix. Most of my days I spend reading.

Welcome Suzanne,

[Jess]

Hi, all! I'm in the southeast part of Missouri. Reading is my passion - I would love to do it full time but haven't figured out a way to do that yet. I am a business analyst in the training and development field. I am married (23 years) and have 2 children (18, 15) but they support my habit and allow me plenty of reading time. I have loved mysteries since I was very young, when I first read Nancy Drew. I like a good "whodunit." These days I read a lot of psychological thrillers. Ever since I read Gone Girl, I have been hooked! I also enjoy gothic thrillers like Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House or Wilke Collins' The Moonstone. I haven't read much of the thrillers I've seen mentioned here. Years ago I read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series and really liked those. Lately I have been thinking about trying out some of the popular authors who write a series featuring a recurring detective, such as Bosch or Monk. If you have suggestions, let me know!

[sonya]

Michael Connelly is real good

Hello! I’m Barbi from Hungary.
I’m new on GR 😊 I’ve started reading in English a year ago, before that i've been reading in Hungarian, but I’ve got bored of the translation mistakes/errors. So I switched to English.
My English is not as good but I’m practicing. :)
A most recent thriller what I’m read is Verity by Colleen Hoover, it’s really good. :)
My TBR list is full of good thriller. :D
I hope I have a lot of new friend!
Happy reading!

[PamG]

Hi,

My name is Pam and I love reading books of many different genres. I love thrillers, mysteries and suspense novels, but I also enjoy reading other types as well; especially science fiction, fantasy, and paranormal fiction as well as nature, gardening, and history. I also generally read 2 or more books at the same time; with one of them on my kindle and the rest physical books.

As for the book that is better aligned with this Group, I am currently reading The Emperor's Tomb by Steve Berry. Some of my favorite mystery/thriller authors include Steve Berry, James Patterson, Faye Kellerman, Jonathan Kellerman, J. A. Jance, Blake Pierce, John Sandford, Ty Hutchinson, Janet Evanovich, and Stephen Coonts.

I am looking forward to the group discussions.
