Dean Fox | 1 comments Hello everyone,

My name is Dean Fox and I write hotwife/cuckold novellas and novelettes, about half of which are interracial. I love exploring human sexuality and loving relationships through my writing. As such, all of my work features couples who are deeply in love with each other, playful, and having fun discovering what turns them on.

"Accidental Hotwife" is my most popular work at 27K words, and "Emily's Treats" (which is set during Halloween) is my most recent.

Although I signed up for GR some time ago, I felt a bit overwhelmed and lost, and subsequently put it on the back burner for a while. I'm just now circling back to dive in more fully. I look forward to finding new readers, reviewers, and making friends here. :)

Janine Purvis | 10 comments Hi! My name is Janine. I self-published my debut novel, Death-Talk Silence, this year. If you like the Outsiders, you will like my book. I am looking for some honest reviews and will provide you the ebook for free in the format of your choice. Please visit my author page and contact me if interested.

Alexa Whitewolf | 5 comments Hi everyone,

I’m Alexa! I started my self pub journey in 2016 and have since self published 8 novels, 1 novella and 1 with a traditional publisher. I’m still sticking with self pub though :) I’m a big control freak, what can I say 😂

I’ve been quiet on GR for the last year or so as I set insane writing goals for myself, but I’m hoping to get back into the fold this year!

Cheers to everyone :)

Charles Gull | 3 comments Hello everyone,

I am really excited to join you here in the Authors & Reviewers group.

I have been a keen reader of Sci-Fi and Fantasy from an early age (some 40 years ago now). It may be impossible for me to list out all the books I have ever read on my GoodReads profile.

Recently my relationship to fantasy and Sci-Fi has taken a new direction. I am writing a Bronze Punk hard fantasy & hard sci-fi crossover epic called Borderlands.

Borderlands is a work-in-progress. I currently have close to 200k words written in total. However, this is spread out over many diverse books in varying states of completion.

Currently, I am concentrating on completing book one in the series. It is subdivided into 9 Episodes which are semi-independant novellas of about 30k words each. Both Episodes 0 & 1 are fully written and I am releasing them in instalments here on GoodReads in the creative writing community section of GoodReads over the coming weeks. You can read the latest instalment here I would be thrilled to hear any thoughts or comments you might have.

To avoid missing any future instalments and learn more about the background of this project join my weekly newsletter. Quick subscribers can still benefit from additional free material from each Episode. However, I can't keep this offer open indefinitely, so
don't delay, subscribe today!

happy reading,

Charles Gull

Charlie Hanks | 6 comments Hi there. My name is Charlie. I recently wrote and self-published my first book, a memoir. I'm currently working on a book of essays as well as a fiction novel. I'm hoping to find great ways to promote my book, get some reviews, feedback and more.

Thank you!


message 1008: by J.W. (new)

J.W. Golan | 10 comments Hello everyone,

My name is John. I am an aspiring indie novelist, looking forward to the release of my first fantasy-fiction novel. I've attached a link to my blog, where I've chronicled some of my observations and learning as an indie author - in addition to all of the preparation it takes to plan a book launch.
https://jwgolan.blogspot.com/

I have previously published as a traditional, non-fiction author (having published a history text, in hardcover), but have turned towards the indie scene as being more amenable for an unknown writer interested in publishing fiction.

Glad to be a part of the larger indie author community.


message 1009: by Jo (new)

Jo Kusi | 1 comments Hello all,

For the next 3 days starting on Friday 18th Jan to Sunday 20th January, my new children's picture book, "Jordan and the Dancing hippo" will be free on Amazon Kindle. It is a beautifully illustrated book about daring to dream big, and learning to be patient. The story told in rhyme is fun to read aloud, and improves reading skills.

You can find the book at https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07LGM8HJS

Will really appreciate a review after you have read the book. Thanks in advance!

Groovy Lee Hello, Everyone

My name is Groovy. I'm an author and avid reader. I'm also a tennis fanatic and addicted to bottled tea. My most favorite books to read are Dr. Seuss and children's books, but I write in the genre of suspense/thriller/romance, go figure:) Thank-you!

Eric (eric_s) | 1 comments Hi everyone! I'm Eric and I created a fun new way to read fiction called Fiction Letters.

It goes without saying that almost no one sends letters through the mail anymore. That's unfortunate because opening the mailbox to find a letter waiting for you among all of the junk mail is a real thrill!

Fiction Letters was created to bring back the thrill of getting physical letters in the mail through great serialized fiction sent as letters.

We have several series of letters available. Each series contains 8 letters that are from an old "friend." As these letters arrive in your mailbox (1 per week over 2 months), your friend tells you an amazing story filled with action, suspense and mystery!

I'd love for you to check out Fiction Letters at www.FictionLetters.com

Thanks!
Eric

message 1013: by Yasmeen (new)

Yasmeen (readerawad) | 2 comments Hi, I’m Yasmeen! I’m a blogger and book reviewer. I’m still a novice, but I’m getting the hang of it. I absolutely love books and will choose fictional characters over real people any day. (Hehehe jk. Only slightly)
Anyway, I’m really glad I found this group!

message 1015: by Patrick (new)

Patrick Lozon (goodreadscompatrickmjlozon) | 3 comments Hello Goodreads Members,

Are you a science-fiction lover? As far as I am concerned there is nothing that can touch this genre (but I am biased).

I published a science-fiction novel on Amazon last year. It's called "Of Days Gone By". This is not a short story. The main character is an incredibly strong young woman - someone who makes a difference, but pays a price for it.

I really did not do any marketing effort on this book, just posted it to see what the uptake would be. Although I sold a good number of copies, I received no reviews. I believe this did not help in sustaining sales. All in all, the experience was a bit disappointing.
I'd love someone to actually post a review on my book on Amazon.
I can email you an epub version if you'd like to read it.

Regardless, I have a few more stories to share. Why bother? Let me just say, it's like a busker playing to an empty street: It doesn't really matter who is listening as long as you connect with the music.

By the way, I also signed up here as an author, and I did get one review (and I thank you for that mystery reviewer).
My website is here: www.patrickmjlozon.com

I've a second novel, ready to publish, and I'd appreciate if someone would review. The title is a "A Bellicose Dance". It's not on amazon just yet...
When I do post it up on Amazon, I'd appreciate if you could post your review, and if you have a blog, that's great too.

I'll can email you an epub version. You can reach me at patrickmjlozon@gmail.com or through this site.

Thank You


message 1016: by Desiree (new)

Desiree Sharpe | 7 comments Good morning everyone! My name is Desiree and I wrote the book Defiance. It is a dark erotica romance and if you liked books like Captive in the Dark by C.J. Roberts, you are going to love the Defiance Trilogy. You can find it on my author page and books two and three will be out in 2019 and 2020. I write a blog called The Happily Spanked Girl and would be willing to give authors a shout out on Twitter and on the blog if I enjoy a book enough so that my followers will know what books to buy. My Genre is Dark Erotica Romance and very light bdsm themes/dubious consent.

Rachel (rmenard) | 4 comments Hi everyone! My name is Rachel, and I am taking the step into publishing my YA Viking fantasy, STEEL HAND, COLD HEART As much as I love it, I think it's a bit too niche for the major markets. I've had a short story published in the The Final Summons anthology, and I also write reviews. Nice to meet you!

Jen89 (jen89pixie) | 2 comments Hi All,

My name is Euphemia Bloom and I am currently writing a romance novel with the view to self publish in Summer (this year!) I'm hoping to find someone to beta read for me. If anyone is at all interested in beta reading, I would greatly appreciate it if you DMd me so we can discuss my novel, the approach I'm taking to marketing the book, and what I hope to get out of having my novel beta'd !
Thank you all for your time, I greatly appreciate it!

message 1021: by Vic (new)

Vic | 2 comments Hey!

Name's Vic and I'm a Creative Writing college student looking to review and beta read almost any fiction you wanna throw my way! I would appreciate payment but as I am new to both areas I understand being unsure about my quality of work. Since I am new to this and have no examples of reviews or beta reading, my first two reviews/readings will be free and my third through tenth will be at the reduced rate of $0.60 per 1000 words. You're welcome to message me here or email me at hargrovevic@gmail.com if you're interested.

Thank y'all!
Vic

message 1026: by Scott (new)

Scott Springer | 1 comments Hi to all,

I just discovered and joined this group. I’m looking forward to reading about all the readers and writers out there.

I’m a writer who needs readers to complete the loop. Playing catch is hard by yourself, though you can bounce the ball off a wall or throw it in the air and play with gravity, I suppose. Not the same satisfying smack to the mitt, though.

Currently, I play on the street corner at Smashwords, which is to say, I have a number of shorts and novellas available for free. Most have a fantastical element. You can see all in one easy location at scottspringer.com

There’s a contact form there too, if you’re so inclined to say hi.

Best to all,
Scott




message 1027: by Zoe (new)

Zoe M Bates (zoembates) | 3 comments Hi everyone,

My name is Zoe, and I have written erotica books since 2010. I've been here on Goodreads for exactly 3 years, but have only this last month pulled my finger out and started to properly engage... and I'm so glad I have, as I've made some truly amazing friends already, some of them friends that I will cherish for a long, long time to come :o)

My books are PWP (Porn Without Plot... well there is a little plot), and cover subjects such as cheating, femdom, cuckolding, BDSM, lesbian, lactation, paranormal, facesitting, spanking, a bit of feminisation, and also foot fetish... not all in one book mind you, but boy, what a book that would be!

I'm happy to chat about anything and everything, so please feel free to drop me a message and get in touch.

Happy reading and writing, Zoe

Allyson | 3 comments Hi there saw this group in a post of a friend. I love to read and will read almost anything. This will sound weird but I am not good at writing reviews like most of the people I follow but I will do my best and give the book an honest review. I wanted to make more connections so Hey everyone :) !!!!

Glenn Williams (goodreadscomglennwilliams) | 2 comments Hi Everyone, Glenn here. I write paranormal thriller/suspenseful dark fantasy. Currently I'm working on the Port Hollow Witches series, about a town founded - and controlled - by witches, where the residents are perpetually in the grip of supernatural forces. I just published my first book (The Claiming) on Amazon and I'll be releasing a related novella in May.

message 1030: by Jade (new)

Jade Lazlow (skyler_rankin) | 1 comments Hello, I'm Skyler Rankin, an indie author of YA sci-fi, mystery, dystopia, mystery, and paranormal stories. I wanted to let you know that my book, Viral Dawn is now free on Kindle Unlimited and will be free on promotion to everyone on May 11 and 12.

Viral Dawn is a dystopian zombie novel featuring a strong female main character. The book was originally released several years ago as a novella aimed at YA reluctant readers. I revised and expanded the book in 2019 and re-released it in February. It now has approximately 93,000 words. The reading level has been adjusted for average to above average readers.

I would love to hear feedback and reviews on the story, as I take them all seriously and use them to improve the story. Plus, if you're willing to read and leave a review, I would be most appreciative.

Here's the Amazon link: https://amzn.to/2XMSFGc

Thanks!

Joseph | 1 comments Hello, all. Name is Joseph Carriker. I'm a tabletop roleplaying game designer of almost twenty years who broke into fiction writing about two years ago. I write speculative fiction (fantasy and superheroes so far) that always includes queer protagonists. My first novel was SACRED BAND, about a team of queer supers; my second was SHADOWTIDE, a tie-in fiction for the gaming setting called Blue Rose. I have contracts for a sequel for both (eek!) and am looking forward to doing some other fiction as well.

Bob Whitely (qt_games) | 9 comments Hi, all. I am a publisher, author, tabletop game designer and artist. I have been writing stories and designing games set in my two universes (the Cosmoverse and Toonaria campaign settings) for nearly 41 years now. I figured it was way past time I started sharing them, so I ran a successful Kickstarter for my first book, Arcane Synthesis: A Blended-Genre Anthology in 2014, and have two more novels coming out this year on Amazon, including The Shadow Reaper and Sea of Worms.

My company is QT Games LLC. Just recently, I added an imprint for each of my universes to cover different products: Cosmoverse Publishing and Toonaria Publishing. Yeah, I'm a busy bee!

Claire Dickinson | 11 comments Hello,

I'm new to goodreads and just getting used to how the whole thing works.

I'm a reader and a writer. My reading preferences are varied. I'll read anything from thrillers to classics to literary fiction (as well as non-fiction, particularly on history or politics).

I've also just self-published my first novel, which is a political thriller set in the Paris catacombs.

Presumably this means that I should have the chance to enter into contact with a wide range of goodreads members.

Best,
Claire
