message 951: by Madness (new)

Madness Jones | 15 comments Hello. My pen name is Madness Jones and I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. I am an author with one currently published YA sci-fi novel and more in the works. I am here because I would like to find new books to read and review, as well as to find reviewers for my current and future projects. My favorite genres are science fiction, historical fiction, and dramatic fiction. Hope everyone is having a great week :)

C.L. Hi! My name is CL Mannarino, and I've been self-published since 2015, with a backlist that includes YA paranormal fantasy, and YA historical fiction. I'm here because I'm always looking for new books to review, as well as reviewers interested in YA fiction, be it paranormal, fantasy, romance, historical, contemporary, or supernatural. I can't wait to get to know everyone!

Andres Rodriguez (aroddamonster) Hello everyone,

My name is Andres and I am new to this group. I have been perusing the threads which many of them seem to be long dead. I currently write comical fantasy after searching through a few books and authors I felt like a genre was missing and thus begin my inspiration. I look forward to meeting you.

message 962: by Alexandra (new)

Alexandra McCann | 9 comments Hello, I just published my new book, Angels Can't Swim. Feel free to visit my website to learn more.

https://alexandramccann02.wixsite.com...

Three college juniors. A swim team. A manipulative coach. Unexpected life circumstances. A girl struggling with her sexuality. A story that you will not forget.

Angels Can’t Swim is a novella that captures so many elements of the life of a student-athlete, from mental health to sexuality to relationships. While partially a story about swimming, it is also the story of finding yourself, finding your voice, and figuring out who you want to be. Focusing on college students and those around them but dealing with issues that cross the lifespan, readers from young adult all the way up will all enjoy this book and find something in one of the characters that sounds a little bit like them.

David Jordan | 3 comments Hi everyone,

I'm David :) I'm not much of a reader or reviewer myself, but I do have a book, a personal memoir based on past events surrounding my family and the child services, very light hearted stuff ;) But all joking aside, Michelle, all reviews, whether they are articulately written or not are welcomed by authors. It's your opinion, and that's what counts to!


message 966: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Lovell | 4 comments Hi! I'm Rebecca and I write historical and contemporary romance! I also love to read and review books so I'm hoping that I can do a little of that as well as submitting my own books for reviews. Excited to be here!

Bookshelfhangover Hey everybody!! My name is Bekah and I am completely new at reviewing books. I received my first ARC about 8 weeks ago and I just finished the book. I am about to post my first review and completely nervous. I love to read, its an addicting hobby. Any suggestions and advice on how to successfully receive ARC books from authors is greatly appreciated. I never thought I would love this as much as I do and I just got started.


message 968: by Ysobel (new)

Ysobel (ysobelblack) | 1 comments Hello everyone!

I am writing a series of stories about a girl with a sword, and am looking for beta readers and reviewers. I write a mashup of fantasy/historical/sci fi genres. My stories are fast paced, light hearted, and suitable for all ages to read. Fans of Xena, Lara Croft, or Buffy will enjoy the adventures of Zax.

I've started posting chapters on Inkitt. Ruckus is finished, but I suffer from the plague that I think afflicts all writers, and I can't stop messing with the manuscript, so I haven't finished posting all the chapters yet. I will have them all up by Monday, though.

This is the link, and the blurb for my story. I would very much appreciate your input, feedback, and comments, either here or there. I am happy to send the manuscript to you for beta reading another way, if you don't want to go to inkitt. https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fantas...

Paladinne. Claviger of Qataban. Demon Dealer. Bloody Harridan. Black Marid. Annihilator of Armies. Ravenshield. Her friends call her Zax.

It's just another day - take the relic to the place the person that needs to use it will find it when the time is right. The only problem is there's a demon in between Zax and where she needs to put the relic.

Dealing with the demon, resurrecting a phoenix, restoring a Tree of Life, and freeing Thuận Thiên is all in a day's work, but when Zax returns home, she learns an epic crisis that threatens to destory gods and goddesses, civilizations, and maybe even the world is looming - and only she can stop it.

All over the world things have already been set in motion by malevolent forces bent on using war, slavery, misery, and death to gain power and subjugate the world to their will. But, if there's one thing Zax likes almost more than a good fight, it's a convoluted, complicated plan - she's got one of those, and she's had it for longer than even she knows.

In Sotomemopia, Awaji, Kurufaba, Eire, Kemet,and Aztlan, along with Bastian, her quantamly entangled soul mate, Kasuku, an immortal parrot, Hellion, a sentient sword cursed by Hel's Hunger to embody Vengeance, the fleet of the Bloody Harridan, and a coalition of Vagabonds, Zax sets out to do what she does best - save the world.

I'm Bo. I write fantasy and sci-fi and think (hope) I'm getting better at it with every sentence.
I am a total noob to all that comes after it and am learning to tolerate it. Trying to learn to tolerate- attempting to learn to... trying to attempt- Aw heck, I got used to back pain I'm sure I'll get used to this.


message 971: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Emslie (victoriaanneemslie) | 2 comments Hi everyone! I am Victoria and I have six novelettes published through Kindle. I write Gothic and Mythic Fiction, with slight allusions to romance here and there. I prefer to focus on characters and setting, and how they interact. My sixth book, published today (as of the writing of this comment) is called The Call of the Sea, and though it deals with deep and heavy emotional issues, there is nothing graphic or violent about it. I am very happy to be here! :)

J.S. Emuakpor | 1 comments Hello.

I'm a new author (and publisher), hoping to get reviews at some point--possibly soon. I'm really not certain how to approach it as I'm fairly new at everything. I mostly write African Historical Fantasy and African Fantasy, but I have dabbled in literary erotica. I have no published fiction that isn't African Fantasy (that includes the erotic stories), so if you are interested in anything in that subgenre, do please check out my author page.

M.H. Barton (auguy86) | 5 comments Greetings, readers and authors! I'm M. H. Barton, also know by my screen name, auguy86. I've been an amateur author of erotic romance literature for about 2.5 years now. My tastes are kinda eclectic, ranging from fanfic and scifi/fantasy to more grounded stories, but anything with a strong, believable romance is something I'll gladly have a look at. Here's hoping I'll connect with some great people on here!

Chrissy Busick (chrissycracksabook) Hi, my name is Chrissy. I love reading, I love leaving reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, Bookbub, you name it. I am trying to get my own Book Review Blog up and running, but I don't have much traffic yet. I would also love to try writing in the near future. I have several ideas floating around in my head, and just recently started trying to outline my first one.

I found this group while checking out the page of an author I follow and have done a review for. I am in the process of reviewing another book for her.

Paullett Golden (paullettgolden) | 2 comments Greetings, Everyone! I'm new to the group and to Goodreads. My debut novel launches on Nov. 1 and is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.

I'm excited to find this group because not only do I enjoy reading and reviewing books, but I'd dearly love honest reviews of my own books. This group seems a match made in heaven!

While I read a wide variety of books, my go-to genre is historical romance since that's also the genre in which I write. Great to "meet" everyone!


message 983: by S (new)

S | 3 comments Hello All,

My name is Shana and I adore reading books from new Indie authors. I read almost anything except religious, or erotica - I simply do not enjoy reading these genres. Children, Middle Grade, YA, Mystery, Thriller, Science Fiction, Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction, and Fantasy, are books I enjoy reading.

I have recently joined Goodreads, even though I have been an avid reader. I am looking to become more active now, and look forward to this new journey.

It's nice to be a part of this wonderful group.

Best,
Shana

Skyla S. | 1 comments My name is Skyla. I am new to goodreads, but I love reading. My life revolves around what I am reading, listening to, and writing at any given time. I love reading everything, but I am particularly drawn to paranormal fiction whether it is romance, YA, NA, etc.
I am currently working on an erotic serial about a divorcee who is bent on making up for lost time (Nessie's Diary). I would appreciate it if someone took a look at them and left a review. I would be happy to return the same favor.


message 986: by Ann (new)

Ann Werner (writingfool) | 9 comments Hi, My name is Ann and I'm a writer. Trying something new and I hope it'll create some interest! If you check out my profile, you'll see I gravitate towards thrillers, but I can also have a softer side (with a little thriller thrown in). I'm currently working on a dystopian novel titled The Melt and have launched a Patreon page to (hopefully) give me a little financial help. I will be putting up chapters to The Melt - the first three are free - starting tomorrow. After that, if you wish to participate in the creation of the novel, you can sign up! At any rate, I hope you'll take a look.

Janette Collins (jmcollins) | 6 comments Hi

Thank you for a wonderful community. It really is the case you find the right people when the timing is just perfect. I have recently published my first novel "Truth in Death" and am really proud of it.

I am seeking reviews. Family and friends have been great, they found it to be a page turner, but I am now seeking independent reviews.

It's centred around Martha, a young women, who's life purpose is to please those around her, finds herself caught up in the murder of a local bar owner. With challenges of their own, her friends seek to find her innocence as they unravel secrets of criminal behaviour.

It would be my absolute pleasure to have you review my story. If you would kindly let me know the format that suits you and I can arrange for it to be sent.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this comment and I truly look forward to connecting with many of you.

Janette Collins

Chrys Cymri | 62 comments I don't want to discourage a new author, but I had a quick look at your novel. Did you have this edited? I've noted a number of punctuation errors in the first few pages.

Hi Chrys

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and the early pages of my novel.

Your comments confirm my fears. Initially, I wanted to defend myself; to tell you how this area of writing is my weakness; how I have had my work edited several times; how I have never been properly taught punctuation, or at least it has never stuck. The truth is I am truly grateful for your feedback. It is good to have something that needs improving.

My biggest worry now is that I am doing my readers a disservice, by not supplying a quality read. From a story point of view I have received some fantastic feedback about the pace; the need to read on; eager anticipation for the next book; the suspense etc… which is great, but they do deserve the quality of a well presented read.

I am making the assumption that you have suppled the feedback with the intention to encourage, guide and support? and was hoping you would present a few examples to help me entertain my readers with the quality they deserve. I would be happy for you to email me your findings if you prefer jmcollins17@hotmail.com.

With much appreciation

Janette Collins.


message 991: by Chrys (new)

Chrys Cymri | 62 comments Hi Janette

I'm not an editor myself, but I can offer you a few examples. For example, in the very first sentence, it should be 'summer's day'--with the possessive apostrophe. The first sentence of the second paragraph is in present tense, whereas the novel is in past tense. The first sentence of the third paragraph is missing a full stop.

I don't have time to go further, I fear. I have my own novels edited by four different people, two of them fellow writers (we exchange such duties for each other) and two keen fans who are excellent editors and pleased to be early readers of my books.

There are various groups on Goodreads for writers seeking editing help (and reviews). Maybe sign up for some of them?

I was originally from London but now reside in Norfolk.
I love Fantasy and Science Fiction and I am an honorary geek and newbie Cosplayer
Over the years I played self created modern fantasy games based around D&D rules and realised we were creating stories each time we played.
I eventually decided to tweak the stories and characters to make a hopefully readable story and my first book is out Friday
if you want to know more or just chat then give me a shout
Happy reading everyone ( and Happy Christmas as it's getting closer and has invaded everywhere.)
