New to the group? Introduce yourself here

I was a reader long before I became a writer. While I write paranormal horror, my reading tastes are a bit more eclectic and I'm always looking for something new to read.

I am planning to start a book review blog. I would love to feature the reviews of your novels on it. Do let me know if anyone is interested!
Thanks.


I always knew I had at least one good book in me. My unique background has been the ideal conversation opener on numerous occasions, including many awkward, social affairs, yet I never could get pen to paper… until the advent of a job promotion. Being the “new kid on the block,” I was once again, prompted to explain where I was from…you see, it’s my name- Mirta; the great ice-breaker. The series of questions that inevitably followed led me to explain how a “white girl with blue eyes” speaks Spanish, has Russian grandparents, and is Jewish. In between trying to settle down in a new office and adjust to new responsibilities, my co-workers pursued their line of questioning…Jews in South America? How did that happen? When they learned that my husband was from Argentina as well, they were enchanted by our long distance romance. One question led to another until one woman exclaimed, “You should write a book!” When, a few days later, she insisted that I review an article about self-publishing, my creative juices began flowing. And here it is:
With Love, The Argentina Family: Memories of Tango and Kugel; Mate with Knishes

I'm Michael Brown. I live in San Miguel de Allende MX and am a writer of Paranormal Thrillers. My first in the Paradise Wars saga, The Consecration of Jacob Jordaens, has just been published on Amazon, iTunes, etc. The novel revolves around the coming of age of the protagonist in a wealthy Rhode Island family involved with child sex trafficking. I look forward to being part of the discussions on this group. Michael

My name is Ray Martini, new author of "The Death of Leadership" which tells the story, by real life examples in my 47 years career, of how Political Correctness and CYA have replaced real leadership in business and government.
I would love for people to give me some honest feedback, since this is my first book.
It is available on Amazon, Kindle, Barnes & Noble and Nook.
Thank you very much,

Hello Ray,
I'm new here myself, but when you say 'in the box' do you mean on your profile? You need to create an author profile and locate the book by it's ISBN/ASIN number - mine took a while to show up so I had to do it manually. After that you should see a 'add book/author' link on top of your posts, and it should appear. Have a look for 'setting up your goodreads author profile on google - you should find all you need. Hope this helps!

As Michael Brown, I'm the author of The Consecration of Jacob Jordaens, first in the Paradise War Series, and just published on Amazon, iTunes, etc. It is a paranormal thriller: a coming of age of the protagonist in a wealthy Rhode Island family involved with child sex trafficking.


I am in the process of blogging excerpts here:

I have released my first children's titles as ebooks and would like to hear what you all think of them. They are for children aged between 7-12. If you have an iPad, you can get the apps that contain fully animated scenes straight from the imagination of the characters as they sing. The sheet music can be found on Addisonstales.com, where you can find more characters who are patiently waiting for their story to be released. In late summer/autumn, the Addison's Tales digital book label will be launched with the help of app, audio book and print distributors - something that has taken nearly 6 years of work from many artistic people including musicians, animators, illustrators and a little old writer from the town of Calladin. So, if any of you have children in this age group, or are in this age group yourself, please take a look at my author's page and post a review of a book of your choosing so that when Wivern Digital, an indi digital publishing house producing Addison's Tales, officially announces the label later this year, people will be able to see a review of some titles around the net. You can even like the page to see how the 3D animation for the next approduction is coming along:

Many happy returns from the town of Calladin!

My name is Charlie Caruso, I am from Australia. I have just co-written a book titled Understanding Y, which is currently available in Kindle Edition, (Paperback due in July). I would love to get involved in this group, possibly have my book reviewed by fellow book lovers, and also review other books.
Understanding Y is a book that sets the record straight. I was so sick of the media spin and hype about "how different/lazy/entitled Gen Y are" - I decided to do some research to better interpret these "misunderstandings". I'd love some honest feedback/thoughts

My name is Lola Smirnova. I've recently published my debut novel "Twisted" - http://www.amazon.com/Twisted-Lola-Sm... and would love to get some reviews. Please let me know if you're interested...
* * *
In the corrupt economy of post-Soviet Ukraine opportunities are scarce. Young and eager sisters – Natalia, Lena and Julia – harbor dreams of a better life. Naïve and tempted by the allure of ‘quick’ money, the girls set off on an adventure that changes their lives forever.
Can they stay out of trouble enough to fulfill their ambitions? Can they hold on to their idealism in a world where depravity and danger are constant companions? How far are they willing to go to make a buck?
TWISTED is a true life shaped into fiction story of vulnerability, courage and the art of making a living in the sex trade.

Thanks and best regards,
Lola :)

I'm Aleks. I'm a Psychologist and self-development author from sunny Sydney Australia. I've been looking for an interesting writer's group to join in order to learn and share what I know and connect to like-minded people.
I have a new book coming out in 3-4 weeks where I interviewed best-selling business and self-improvement entrepreneurs and will offer a synopsis of it next time I post if that is acceptable to the group. I'll be happy to offer a review copy to those who may be interested.
Other than that, I hope everyone is well and I look forward to contributing where I can :)

Hello Reviewers' Group--
I've just joined Goodreads as an author and am learing my way around the site. I recently published UNSETTLE THE SCORE, a thriller that has been getting some good reviews from readers and from KIRKUS REVIEWS. It is part of a BOOK GIVE-AWAY until June 20. Would love to get some reviews from this group. Thanks to any and all who look.
It is available on AMAZON as a hard copy of Kindle.

I would really love to have reviews of "Killers" and am willing to reciprocate. I can provide a PDF version or you can get the book on Amazon, Smashwords, B&N as a paperback or an ebook. Please contact me at jan.martinez1953@gmail.com if anyone is interested in exchanging reviews. I usually read mysteries and thrillers, but also like historical fiction. I'm not interested in romance novels. Sorry.
Thanks!!

While I do realize that Amazon sales are driven by reviews, can anyone tell me of an honest and simple solution to paying for reviews?
I believe in my book, THE CLAIMS ADJUSTER, and I have received good reviews away from Amazon. But, alas, Amazon sells my book and their reviews make me $$.
