Welcome to the group - Ice breakers
Hi all .I'm Christine. I write historical and contemporary romance. I love animals, I'd probably turn my home into a zoo if I could. Oh, and wine. Love wine. Looking forward to getting to know you all :)
Hi Christine, Anne-Rae and all,This is so fun. I'm a reader (not a writer) so I get to meet all of Anne-Rae's friends and fans like me.
I will mark all your books on my To Read shelf and write reviews when I finish them.

You are now Honorary Truth Seekers!
As Truth Seekers, please give yourself an alias (mine is Zero Doubt) or else I will let Linda choose aliases for you. Trust me, you don't want her to do that.
Oh Linda, you need to choose an alias too!
As we sometimes go on secret missions to save the world, we must use our aliases from time to time. ;)
Till we meet again,
Anne-Rae aka Zero Doubt

Adam, please introduce yourself and let the group members blast you with their questions. :)
Guys be gentle with him...lol
Cheers,
Anne-Rae
I have to think of an Alias? lol I'll take my chances and let Linda assign me one. It's always more fun that way haha.
Thanks for the welcome, Anne-Rae. As noted above, I'm the author of Broken Birdie Chirpin. It's a rock n' roll coming of age novel set in London.
I've just begun working on another project (twenty pages in), which is feeling more like a novella. Anyway, I look forward to getting to know more about all of you.
Thanks,
Adam

Please choose an alias name and avatar. We like to have some fun here around the Truth Seeker theme I have for my book Doubt.
If you don't choose one, I'll let loose Linda who can choose one for you. Can't promise that you'll like her choice though. lol..
Welcome,
Anne-Rae
Ok. I'm game. My alias will be "Jeepster."

Hi and Welcome everyone!!!
Sorry to be so late to the game. I'm Linda McIntyre and my book is The Exile, book one of the series Lies of Lesser Gods.
I've been on an Awesome Book Signing Tour with The Exile and have only now caught up with myself going…or something like that! What a blast to connect with so many fans face-to-face! Book Two, The Rebel is due out in August, so I'm also hard at work with copy editing, covers, synopsis... Phew!!
My Truth Seekers Alias is Black Mac.
Hmmm, Christine….Looks like you beat me to the punch and created your own alias. Ha, ha!

Attention: authors who are participating in the Holiday Rafflecopter giveaway.
Just a heads up that the contest is ending on Feb 28th so I will be sending private messages with the Winner contact info so you can send your wonderful prizes to them.
Have a great weekend,
Anne-Rae
Thanks Anne-Rae! I see that we are almost topping 20,000 entries! This is very exciting!
Mod
And our little group here on GR is growing with lovely readers and author/readers.
Happy Valentine's day. I'm spending it pretty much in the kitchen with the kids playing video games. Ahh... où est la romance?
Will you be my Valentine?????
I'm not doing much for Valentine's Day. I'm afraid I am in full obsessive mode as I race my deadline to get The Rebel ready for production!
Mod
Hmm... the Rebel, Resist... see some common themes happening.
I shall not interrupt your obsessive writing mode. Carry on!
