Katherine (katherinesmith) Hello. My name is Julie and I love to read. (Insert "hello, Julie!") I am physically-disabled, but mentally still a professional 39 yr old southern belle with brains (MBA).

I would love to help authors to keep my brains as sharp as a tack. Tehehe

I read lots of different genres most of which fall into the fiction category. Romance and erotica more specifically military, sports, May-Dec, some menage, werewolves, vampires or any combination of the above.

Thank you for your consideration!
Julie

Lauren Hope (authorlaurenhope) | 2 comments Hey everyone! My name is Lauren Hope, and I write classic whodunit mysteries with a bit of my own modern twist thrown in. After my third novel became a modest bestseller, I decided to go back to my first series and re-release it as a new edition.

If you're interested in reading the first book in The Shadow Series, Hidden Shadows, and providing your feedback, you can find a free copy to download at Smashwords with the code provided below.

J.J. Stone (jjstonewrites) | 4 comments Hello! *waves* I'm new to the group and to the wonderfully exciting and terrifying world of writing. I recently published my debut crime fiction novel that I would love to find some reviewers for. I'm hoping I've come to the right place! :)


Bianca (readerbia on BookTok) (readerbia) Hi guys! I'm not relatively new here, just looking for some new friends. Feel free to add me if we have the same interests! I'd love to discuss books with everyone. :)


message 361: by Melanie (new)

Melanie Bennett Hello, I am the author of "Learning to Dance in the Rain: A Year of Weathering the Storm with an Autistic Child". Although I did a giveaway back in May (?) and sent out the 10 books I have only gotten one rate/review so far. Now, I understand everyone has a life, but I still expected more than that. I am looking for more reviews if anyone is interested. If so I will take the first 3 people that notify me that they are interested. I have found Goodreads to be a great resource and thank you for reading this.

Scarlett Finn (scarlettfinn) | 4 comments Hi, I'm Scarlett. I am a writer of romantic suspense. My most recent title is Explicit Instruction by Scarlett Finn which I know won't be to everyone's taste. So I might need some adventurous, and understanding, reviewers who know what they're letting themselves in for!

Hello Everyone!

My name is Sol Serano. I have written about 10 titles so far. I am really enjoying the writing, the marketing - not so much. New to the forum posting and online interacting thing. Starting to get used to it. Will enjoy practicing here ;-)

I just did a redesign on my website and would love to get some feedback. http://SolSerano.com I put Seductive Encounters on sale for .99 and you can sign up to get a sneak peak of my WIP Counterbalance.

Look forward to getting to know this group!

Natasha B (littlewritingsforyou) Hello everyone!! I'm normally a very behind the scenes type of person, this is putting me a bit out of my comfort zone, and I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed. Lol No big deal. ;) I've always loved writing and reading it's been one of my main escapes, I started with writing Poetry and have recently started writing my own short novella's. I look forward to meeting many more authors and readers :D

Tiffany Do (sarcasticcookiedo) | 5 comments Hi! I'm Tiffany and I'm just an everyday college student who loves to read different types of books, so long as they interest me. I'm still pretty new to this website, probably a few weeks old so there might not be things that I know of. I have also recently started a blog where I post things that relate to personal interests of mine, and also reviews that I have done and other sorts of things. Here it is if anyone would like to see it. http://cestlaviedetiffany.weebly.com/

message 371: by Josh (new)

Josh Mitchell (wickid_pissa) | 10 comments Hi everyone,

I'm a Hollywood writer and director. Good to be here.

My new novel "The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is now available on Amazon via Kindle Direct as a KDP Selection - www.amazon.com/dp/B00M0DUI8Y

Frank Flutie is a lexicographer who has waged war on the "perils of adultolescence" by leaving a high-paying job as a copywriter for an advertising company called The Banker and taking a low-paying job in a bookstore instead, ostensibly so he can write the first ever all sexual dictionary.

The "war" (and his dictionary), however, aren't going particularly well and, under the stress of his "self-imposed exile" from affluence, Frank has become petty and fatalistic -- "a shit hoarder whose dictionary would be better utilized as a flyswatter, a doorstop, or a paperweight".

Always broke, but too proud to accept charity, he rarely sees his few friends and cannot get the virginal Marlene in bed because (or so he believes), "If you got no dough, no woman will love you."

On the mantle in Frank's shabby apartment is a sickly but unkillable pet sea lamprey -- a jawless fish he abhors as the banner of the sort of "clockwork universe" he is fleeing from in his downward spiral.

In the course of his misadventures, we become grindingly aware that his radical solution to the problem of the money-world is no solution at all -- that in his desperate reaction against a monstrous system, he has become something of a monster himself.

"The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is a behemoth valentine to Boston and a gritty, sprawling, depiction of today's recession-inflicted state of affairs.

message 372: by D.F. Jules (new)

D.F. Jules | 2 comments Hi guys, my name is Julia and I am an author with one book published and two in the process of being published. I write in English although my publishers mostly published Indonesian books so I don't have an editor that can give me the editing that I need.

I am desperately in need of feedbacks and editing. Perhaps anyone here can help?

Thank you for this group.


message 373: by D.F. Jules (last edited Aug 09, 2014 11:09PM) (new)

D.F. Jules | 2 comments Oh, btw, I write YA, adventure, paranormal romance. No graphic sex scenes so far and I'm not planning any. But there is violence (fight scenes, no rape or abuse) and perhaps a swear word or two.

My books are usually 400 pages or longer and...I guess that's it? Yeah.

Oh first three chapters are on here:

Guy Vestal  - Counter Culture Critic (DaddyRose) Greetings...

My name is Guy Robert Vestal. I am a single Father who has raised 8 Daughters alone our entire lives. I have four elementary school aged girls still left at home.

I just recently got back to reading and writing. I love to review books, but sadly enough, I am too old school to abandon ink and paper, ergo I own no e reader. Sorry. LOL

Steffie Dawn (steffie_dawn) | 5 comments Hi everyone,

I'm Steffie Dawn and have been a GR member for over a year. I only now feel confident enough to join some groups and meet new people. (There was a whole load of bad about GR going about when I released my first novella)

I have a few books out and am always willing to giveaway an ARC for honest reviews, the good, the bad and the ugly are sure fine with me as long as they're honest as my philosophy it's all about learning!

Hope to chat more with you all!

S xx :)

message 385: by acitore (new)

acitore | 2 comments Newbie here, but not to writing, forums or otherwise. I'm glad that there's a site which has current activity and covers all genres of writing, however it needs a serious revamping. This isn't as user-friendly as it could be. There are so many subjects, that you can't keep track of them. Some are repeats. For example, there's a Freebies zone, but also a Giveaways zone. All of these headings should be self-explanatory instead of having a post entitled, "What this is for". In addition, the forum needs to be re-organized. Some of the headings should be one after the other, but instead they're 5 topics later. Just an opinion for whoever's in charge.


message 386: by Tony (new)

Tony Denn (tonydenn) | 4 comments Hi, I'm Tony. I read a broad spectrum of fiction, although my writing has been limited to crime so far. First novel is due out Sept 6th but will likely be giving away review e-copies before then. Hope to connect with readers through this group.


Steffi ~mereadingbooks~ (mereadingbooks) Hi there!
My name is Steffi and I love reading (duh!). I also love writing reviews and talking about reading experiences. There are many genres I like; the only ones I can't really get into are crime/thriller novels. Anything else I'm up for. Especially weird stories and science fiction.
I hope to get in touch with some awesome people and talented writers via this group! :)

Neely Powell (goodreadscomneelypowell) Welcome Sheryl, Tony, and Steffi!

Boots | 14 comments My name is Boots and I'm a book addict… **hi boots**…

Long time reader, short time writer (who's too chicken to do anything with what she's written) :P

Maybe one day I will, but for now I'll keep on reading anything that's written :D
