Hello all

[Kent]

I've been lurking for a few weeks now, just though I'd say hello to the group. I'm an author and lover of mystery/thrillers who has been a working photojournalist for over 35 years.
I'd be happy to answer questions regarding media procedure. In my writers critique group I get many questions in that regard and assume there are a few writers in the ranks here. I'm a newspaper shooter, but work alongside the TV folk so if I don't know the answer, I know many who will.
So, hello to all.

Hello everybody,

I am Susanne and I am living in Germany. I have been an avid reader since childhood and so I read nearly everything I love mysteries and thrillers. These days I mostly read ebooks, but paper hasn't been thrown out.

In germany I am running a blog featuring free and bargain english books for German readers. And at the moment I am helping some German authors who had their books translated into english with finding reviewers and promoting their books.

Looking forward knowing you all!

Susanne

Welcome to the group, Susanne. I lived in Germany twice, once in the Schwarzwald, the second time in Ramstein. Lovely country. I hope you enjoy the group.

[Susanne]

Hi Bill, thank you. Ramstein... Ramstein Air Base?

[Dena]

Hi Susanne, welcome to the group. I lived in Germany during the 1990's and books in English were scarce and expensive. My goal was to read German well enough to read for enjoyment but I was never able to do that. Your blog would have been useful to me then.

Welcome all newcomers to the group!:)

[Susanne]

Hi Dena, yes, I remember those times. It is much better now, even small town bookshops have a reasonable and affordable selection of english books.

Welcome to the group, Susanne!
