New to the group? Introduce yourself here

I am sixteen years old and live in the wonderful state of Michigan. I published my first book in August titled Waybrooke and I am working on my second! I love my family more than anything, I really really like coffee and I don't have a favorite color but when people ask I always say purple. :)

I'm Geraldine, from the UK.
I'm a traditional author, turned indie.
I write police procedurals (more cozy than noir) and would be glad of reviews for any of them. If you like mysteries with some humour, you might enjoy these.
I also write historical novels. Only one so far, but I intend to write more. If anyone enjoys Tudor Biographical Fiction, this could be to your taste: Reluctant Queen (on GR Giveaway at the moment).
If you're interested in winning one of ten pb copies, here's the link for the Giveaway: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...
Here's a link to my website/blog: http://geraldineevansbooks.com
Happy to review others' books, but can I take a raincheck on that for the moment? Hope to have cleared some time by May 2014 to be able to do reviews.
Many thanks.

Hello Lori! Would you be interested in a review exchange? I have a YA novel called Waybrooke. Message me if you're interested!

My name is Kristen Luciani and I'm from the US. I love to read and write - my favorite genres are contemporary romance, action adventure and chick lit.
I just completed my first contemporary romance novel, Unlikely Venture, and I am researching publishing options. However, being the impulsive gal that I am, my fingers are just itching to get it up on Amazon asap!
I'm really excited about this book, and I can't wait to get it out to readers!
Come visit my blog if you get a chance! http://kristenluciani.com
Look forward to connecting!

I’m a new author seeking reviews and feedback on my work. I’m fifty-three and I live in Leesburg, Virginia. I recently published( “Storm Dancer” by J.A.Pierce) (amazon), which is the first book in a trilogy. I’m writing three other books which I intend to publish but haven’t set a date. I have been a reader all my life. I’ll work to review other new authors. I will not review work that does grab me in the first few chapters. Best of luck to all the authors and thank you to the readers for making it possible for us to do what we love.

Good Morning,
It's a lovely sunny day here in South East England. After I post this e-mail I am going to plant new potatoes, sow lettuce and radish sees and do other jobs in my organic garden.
I am looking forward to getting to know members of this group, reviewing novels and receiving reviews of my novels.
MuseItUp Publishing have published five of my historical novels as e-books. Sunday's Child and False Pretences set in the Regency era. Tangled Love, The Captain and The Countess, Tangled Love and last but not least, Far Beyond Rubies, which is also available as a paperback, each of which are set in England in the reign of Queen Anne Stuart 1702-1714.
I believe that Historical Novelists should bring to life the eras in which their novels are set. They should not feature characters dressed as 21st century people with 21st century attitudes.
My bookshelves bear testimony to my research - economic and social history, what people ate, where they shopped, what they wore and much more. As well as reading historical non-fiction, I visit places of historical interest and exhibitions such as the recent one The Georgians At Home and at the moment, plan to visit the new exhibition, The Vikings, at The British Museum.
Ever since I can remember I have read both historical fiction and non-fiction and now I am delighted to be a published author.

When I started writing my first novel, I found that I ended up reading more than ever. I have trouble remembering all the books I've read, so reviewing is actually a good way to keep track. I will only review books I liked. It's easier and more productive for me to do this than writing bad reviews. I will point out things I did not like in a book that I otherwise found enjoyable.
My favorite genres are science fiction and fantasy but also like Tom Clancy style thrillers. I look forward to making some friends and posting reviews of many more of books I have enjoyed.

We hope people will be kind enough to visit our blog at http://busking4books.wordpress.com. You can also follow us on twitter at https://twitter.com/busk4books

My name is Jim Pierce. I write under J.A.Pierce and I recently published "Storm Dancer.” I enjoy reading and writing fiction of all kinds. "Storm Dancer" is the first book in the Coburn Trilogy but I'll have another book out soon that is a fantasy titled "Siglo's War." I didn't start writing until a few years ago. I have a rough draft on four books, which I hope to finish in the next few years. Please read and review "Storm Dancer" your comments will improve my writing.

Thanks, I look forward to being an active member of the group.

Hi, Taskeen, I'm also learning how Goodreads works. I visited your review site and it looks good. The reviews are organized and thorough.


While working in a travel agency, I met met Indian husband. He encouraged me to continue mt education at Westminster College. In 1961 I and my husband, now a barrister, moved to his birthplace, Kenya, where I lived from 1961 until 1982. After an attempted coup d’état, I and four of my children lived in an ashram in France.
Back in England, I wrote historical fiction. I am now a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association, Historical Novel Society and Watford Writers.
Apart from writing, I enjoy classical Indian literature, reading, visiting places of historical interest, vegetarian cooking, growing organic fruit, herbs and vegetables and creative crafts.
My bookshelves are so crammed with historical non-fiction which I use to research my novels that if I buy a new book I have to consider getting rid of one.
Time spent with my five children and their families, most of whom live near mw is precious.

I originally started my book, Goin' Postal: True Stories of a U.S. Postal Worker, as a nostaglia type of diary for my co-workers. It was so funny that my friends told me to publish it. I did as an ebook. Then I wrote a couple more ebooks, one entitled 10 Shades of Blush: The Softer Side of Kink (which will be a series), and the other was a short story of historical fiction. I got such great reviews for that one, The Creek: Where Stories of the Past Come Alive, that I decided to print that along with Goin' Postal into a "Two Books in One" Combo.
The reviews are coming back pretty good. However, I have not been in the reading/writing community, so I would like to get to know all of you, and hope we can help each other to promote and suggest good reads :)


I find it funny that my name is also Kerry and my sister's is Kirsten. And those two names just appeared in order on his thread. If you are interested I have written a Paranormal comedy for older YA called "Over Cast" by K.W. Benton.
Hello everyone. I just wanted to let everyone know that on Monday April 1st through Friday April 5th my new book CUPID will be free to download on Amazon. Please go get it and review it.

My name is Laura, and I currently have two books published, one historical fiction novel, and one non-fiction guide to writing historical fiction. Working on the dreaded 'second' novel at the moment.
I know how essential reviews are for book sales, and think it's only right that authors should return the favour for other writers.
Looking forward to sharing.
Laura
