FBI... a few members might like to ask you questions !
Are you sworn to secrecy ?
I can't ever talk about classified stuff, but I'm more than happy to answer questions. It's a great job and I was very fortunate to get in. Our prepublication department back at HQ gave me permission to mention my job on the condition that it's only used in my bio and that I make it clear that my job has nothing to so with what I write.
Thanks for the welcome Sean!
Welcome Zack, what an exciting job you have!
Hey, my name is Brian. My cool writer name is Brian J. Awesome, eh? I was a Standup Comic for over 8 years. After a move to LA, I fell out of entertainment and into the world of business management. It was interesting and exciting and all in all a good experience, but now it's time to write!
Thanks Kristy!It's hard for me to really nail down what I write, because in my mind they are simply stories begging to be written. To answer your question I'll have to refer to a few reviewers that have tossed in some terms.
Paul Goat Allen said what I write is a blend of horror and dark fantasy. Michelle L Olson of Literal Addiction said that my stuff is "darkly creepy, psychologically unnerving, scientifically intriguing, and philosophically thrilling.

I know you have been a member a little while, so thanks for coming to introduce yourself, and welcome.
I hit done before I was done. Hopefully, Kristy, that answers your question. Let me know if it doesn't! Zack....
Welcome Brian, I'm sure you're awesome!

You know, you gotta go to some dark places to write stuff like that. Sounds interesting. Glad you're here.
Welcome, Brian.
Welcome Zack and Brian!!
Welcome to the group Hunter. Nothing more awesome than a native New Yorker ... most of our film industry folks look for any silly reason to shoot a song sequence or a romantic scene in New York ....
Welcome to the group Alana. Hope your new thriller gets to the bestseller list right from the word go. We have a few assassins in our kitty to force the hands of fate as well. Let us know.

Welcome to the group Zack.Note to Self - Oh no. Now I am doomed. First a cop (Chris) and now FBI (Zack). We must REALLY need to be monitored. (Quickly hides all accounting logs)
DoodlePanda, Daniel, Ter'e, Kristy - PLEASE look innocent at least. And don't rat me out with my nefarious activities. Gaah!
Welcome Brian ... yay stand up comedy ..... how exciting .....

I don't know Dips, I think you may be doomed ....I think Chris after seeing the kind of behavior in this group enlisted Zack to join forces
I think all we need is the NSA and we should be covered.
It's only a matter of time before they join our dark forces. *evil laughter*
Kristy wrote: "It's only a matter of time before they join our dark forces. *evil laughter*"They would be the new members disguised as shrubs.
I'm liking his group already! Dipanjan, I probably need as much watching as anybody else. Besides, I never mix business with pleasure.
I'll keep a lookout for all moving shrubs.
Mod
Lots of authors
Who's next ??

Now we call all breathe easier!
Malina, I love the sign. It should be on our front page!
Kristy wrote: "Malina, I love the sign. It should be on our front page!":D! I'm not sure Sean would approve, haha!
@ Malina - Chris and Zack are "Under Cover". This is when I do the Al Pacino thingy of Donnie Brasco .... It's a Mad Mad Mad World. LOL.@ Daniel - ROFL. ROTFL. LMAO. (ref: NSA, we got it covered)
@ Kristy - No no no ... we are not dark forces .... we are "young and innocent".
@ Zack - Would you allow "someone" to sell their body for food? Would you look the other way? Pleassshhhhhhh!!!!
@ DianeAlice - Back pain? Wait, let me come over and take you out for a dance. Let's do the Coyote Ugly or Shake your Bon Bon?
@ Sean - Now I know your ultimate motive. You are out to take over the world. This group has every key player required for that. Yay!!!!!! I wish we could all get together and shoot a special Good Thriller version of "We Are The World".
Soylent Green is sadly underrated as a sustainable and tasty food source. I hear it pairs well with fava beans. *looking the other way*
Sean wrote: "Cop, FBI, actor(Dips) former boxer and tennis player somedays (me)!!Lots of authors
Who's next ??"
Secret Agent/poet/lover. here. Shhhhh.
DianeAlice wrote: "Dips, well I might manage a shuffle around on my hands and knees.....oops hope that doesn't sound wrong! Again.."That sounds oh so wrong, too late.
Zack wrote: "Soylent Green is sadly underrated as a sustainable and tasty food source. I hear it pairs well with fava beans. *looking the other way*"Now that's what I call a perfect Friday dinner! Only missing a nice Chianti
Daniel wrote: "Sean wrote: "Cop, FBI, actor(Dips) former boxer and tennis player somedays (me)!!Lots of authors

We've got it all!
@ DianeAlice - That created a very disturbing image in my "young and innocent" head. ROFL.@ Zack - We had a lawyer too. Kerry. She has gone absconding ..... Ha ha.
Hi, everyone.I'm John Dolan, Englishman and occasional smarty-pants. I currently live on the island of Samui with my wife, Fiona, a dog, a cat and the last child we haven't managed to get rid of yet.
When I can't think of anything more useful to do - like unblock a drain, for instance - I write books. But that's far too boring to talk about here. I like theatre and hanging around in Thai bars. I hate repetition, hypocrisy, cabbage and repetition.
When I'm not unblocking drains or writing I can be found wasting my life on Twitter. If you suffer from the same addiction, you can find me @JohnDolanAuthor
Victoria Dougherty recommended this group to me, so it's all her fault.
I hope everyone's 2014 is going swimmingly.
Best,
John
Welcome John, enter at your own risk! I'm sure you will find this group very interesting...
DianeAlice wrote: "Haha Dips, with your connections you can arrange for us to do that can't you?! That would be flippin hilarious!"Of course DianeAlice. I can take you anywhere, whenever you want to .... now THAT sounds really wrong. (Zack reading out Miranda rights to me and Chris repeating "Please Step Out Of The Car Sir)
Welcome to the group John. OMG, you trusted Victoria? She is our designated trapper. Did she tell you this group is "for the loonies, by the loonies, of the loonies"?
Got an interesting email today….apparently NSA approves of this group….
Dipanjan wrote: "Welcome to the group John. OMG, you trusted Victoria? She is our designated trapper. Did she tell you this group is "for the loonies, by the loonies, of the loonies"?"Lol @ Victoria the designated trapper.
Diane, all it takes is one "innocent" comment to get Dips going.
There are no innocent comments, only those found not guilty.
Dipanjan wrote: "Welcome to the group John. OMG, you trusted Victoria? She is our designated trapper. Did she tell you this group is "for the loonies, by the loonies, of the loonies"?"Trust Victoria? Never. But she has some incriminating photographs of me that I am keen to keep off the web. So here I am.
Malina wrote: "Welcome John, enter at your own risk! I'm sure you will find this group very interesting..."Thanks, Malina. I've only just joined and I can see already there is enough material here for a dissertation on mental illness among thriller lovers. Obviously I'm in the right place.
Kristy wrote: "Hello, John. And welcome!"Thanks, Kristy. Glad to join the inmates.

My name is Zack Kullis. I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. A few years ago this love for reading turned into a love for writing.
I work for the FBI and really enjoy my job. However, I am passionate about what I write, and would love to have the opportunity and ability to do it full time.
Thank you for allowing me to be a member of this group. I look forward to finding all kinds of literary gems through this group.
