Funny. First person tends to be one of my favorite styles if it's done well. To each I suppose.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Mine too, Mike, I love the first person POV. To me it helps with mystery/suspense in a story if there are twists, as well as getting to know the main character better. I do know they are less popular on the publisher radar unless reserved for special genres though (some UF and YA comes to mind)

Welcome all new members :)

[Leif]

Hi Good Thriller Readers!

I'm Leif Sterling and I'm Sci-Fi Thriller author and reader.

Obviously everyone in the group here must have marvelous taste to be reading and discussing thrillers! (Although, I may be slightly biased towards the genre...) ;-)

I wanted to join the discussion here.

Looking forward to talking with y'all!

[Carmen]

Hi everyone, I am a fairly new member and haven't taken the time to introduce myself until now. My name is Carmen and my husband and I are in the empty nest stage of our lives and we are enjoying it. We have one adult daughter and no pets. I work part time and live in a cosy small town where I feel very safe to walk the streets at night! I love to read and hopefully will have time to be apart of this group. I have read all of Lee Child's Reacher series and have to say Reacher is one of my favorite fictional chareacters, right up there with Baldacci's Puller and Robie characters. Favorite book series is The Camel Club by Baldacci and really enjoy Maxwell and King too!. I enjoy mysteries and thrillers but must admit to a bit of a queasy stomach and a vivid imagination so I tend to stay away from the real graphic and gory stories, as I do a lot of my reading at bedtime! I will read some classics and will take a break from intense thrillers for a cosy mystery book like Laura Childs' Tea Shop mysteries. Oh yes, I live in Manitoba, Canada, and yes we have lots of mosquitoes and lots of snow but its where I fell in love and where I gave birth to my one and only child so this province holds my heart. But I do enjoy escaping part of our winters for a holiday down south! Love Charleston SC and Louisianna, so if there are any members from those parts, hey y'all! Your southern hospitality is like none other!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi, welcome.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hey! Fresh pizza in the lounge!

[Theresa]

Count me in! LoL I have wine and cokes haha which do you prefer???

[Mike (the Paladin)]

...depends on the wine. If it's spicy pizza I'll do a beer run.

[Mukund]

Hello to all here. I am Mukund here from India
Would like to get some valuable inputs on thriller book and would be grateful to contribute some to the group.

[Mukund]

Hi Diane, Thanks and by the way my name is Mukund :)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi Kimberley, Mukund and anyone I've missed, LOL. Welcome.

[Judy]

Hi All,

I am a mystery author living in Portland, Oregon USA. While my reading tastes vary widely, I particularly enjoy a good mystery, thriller, or suspense novel. I also enjoy gardening, long walks, great food, and lost causes.

Currently on my night stand: The Fatal Gift of Beauty by Nina Burleigh, a New York Times journalist's take on the Amanda Knox trials in Prugia, Italy.

I am a former journalist, and wrote two nonfiction books before embarking on a mystery writing career. My novels, both set in Oregon, are An Unholy Alliance set in Oregon wine country, and The Difficult Sister, set on the southern Oregon coast.

I look forward to interacting with all of you. You can learn more about me and my novels at http://www.judynedry.com

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Welcome.

[Judy]

Thanks Mike!

[Janet , Moderator]

Welcome to all our newest members! Enjoy the group.

[Dawn]

Hi and welcome everyone that is new. Wow, we are really growing and it is so cool.

[James]

Wow! I just discovered this group, and was amazed by how fast it has grown since Jan. 2013.
I'm James M. Corkill, originally from Perri's town of Eastsound Washington, USA. I now live in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina.
I'm a retired Federal Firefighter, now author.
I'm a big fan of Clive Cussler's original Dirk Pitt novels, Tom Clancy, and lately, James Rollins. I suppose it's the reason I write along a similar genre.
I've really enjoyed reading about all of you, which I started from you're first post, Sean. What a nice group of people. I'm glad I discovered this group. Just to avoid confusion, call me James M. It's nice to meet all of you.

[Terri]

Whoa! Haven't checked this thread for awhile; lots of new members! This really IS such a nice group. Hello and welcome!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi James I grew up on the other side of the Smokies from where you live now (Eastern TN). It's still one of my favorite places in the world I guess. Glad to have you here.

Lavada,
All of a sudden my GR looks different. I haven't done any updates to my ipad, nor had any notices, so I assumed either Sean or GR changed our format.
