[KarenJo]

Hello Everyone!
My name is Karen Jo from Los Angeles California and I'm an avid reader and book reviewer at Sincerely Karen Jo (https://sincerelykarenjo.com/). I have a weakness for anything romance so most of the stories I read have some form of romance in them. I read YA, NA, and some adult romances. I also read some Middle Grade books and a few books outside my comfort zone depending on the premise.

You can check out my Review Policy on my blog. At the moment, I'm booked so I'm taking book review requests starting February 2019.

I may not check or go here all the time so if anyone would like me to consider their novels, please email me at karenjo46@gmail.com.

Not sure what else to say so hiii and nice meeting you all!

XOXO,
Karen Jo

hi
this is my first novel.

[Charles]

Good morning, afternoon, and evening to everyone who reads my post at whatever time it may be. For me, it is evening and I am so happy to be able to share with you all information about myself. My name is Charles N. Kos and I'm new to Goodreads, but surprisingly things are going well for me as I have just finished my first artistic children's book. It is titled Blink Blink and is purposely targeted to young audiences of ages 2 to 8 years old. It can also be for those in the elementary level of education.

For parents, my book is full of colorful hand drawn arts with words that rhyme and makes children think and ask questions. You can all review the ebook version on www.scribd.com for free when you sign up for one month free membership for the first time at this site. Please enjoy with your children.

Thank you. I am really happy to be able to change lives of children through writing and illustrating.

[Vidal]

HULLO! Vidal D'costa here. I love and live to write and originally started out on fastpencil and wattpad and on my blog.

Am a self published author, desperately seeking reviewers and ways to promote my books as much as possible. Newly published on Kindle and Smashwords and hopefully soon in paperback via Amazon.

I write in scifi, erotica and romantic comedy genres and being a Dvaid Tennant and BBC fangirl, often the characters I run with are Scottish, British and American, although I have tried my hand at Indian and Goan fiction as I am born and bred in Goa. So if any of the above mentioned genres interest you or you love yourself some genetic engineering mixed in with accents, time travel, romance and fish n chips, do hit me up on this email to receive copies to read and review any of my books: dreamydepp.vd@gmail.com

I currently have 0 reviews to add to my Amazon and Goodreads profile, so I'd be grateful if any o' y'all took some time to help a fellow reader and author out here. Thanks.

Hello!
I’m Jeff Walker (new comer to this group)

I’m the author of Outer Red (sci fi/fantasy/fable), The Mysterious World Of Professor Darkk And Miss Shadow (thriller/mystery/horror) and Distant Saga Trilogy: A Short Story Collection.

I’m self published and always open to reviews of my stories. I’m currently looking for some ARC readers/reviewers of my latest story - Outer Red - Part 2: The Three Little Peggs

[Ru]

Hi! My name's Ru Pringle, from Dunoon in Scotland. I've written for a living since my teens (mainly freelance for newspapers and magazines), and recently took the plunge and published 3 novels, with another 3 in the pipeline for next year.

So far I've had great reviews from readers and established authors, but (as I suspect is true for most authors just starting out), the catch-22 link between exposure and number of readers and reviews is proving thorny. Hence my joining this forum.

Books out so far are:
October Song, a dark near-future thriller which is being compared to 'The Children of Men' and the writing of Iain Banks. (UK link https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07J5H56XZ, US link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J5H56XZ)

A Time of Ashes, the first book of Fate and the Wheel, a series which reads like epic fantasy (although things are a little more complicated than that ...) (UK link https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07DY8WFS7, US link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DY8WFS7)

Hunting Gods, the 2nd book of Fate and the Wheel (UK link https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07DYX2Y57, US link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DYX2Y57)


Books I'll be publishing next year are both parts of Sanctuary, a centuries-spanning epic space-opera with some unusual genre twists, and Surfers, a comic tale in which an ageing folk musician is dragged into rescuing the world from a very weird fate by a 4-dimensional alien goat.

Anyway - good to touch base - looks like there's a lot of interesting people on the forum. If you'd like to get in touch, either on the topic of reviews, or just to blether, it'd be great to hear from you! You can message me via GoodReads or the Email link on my website, which is https://rupringle.com/fiction

Thanks for reading! :-)

[R.D.]

Hi my name is R. d. Murray...This is very hard to write, but when I was in the 3rd grade I was bullied so badly I wanted to kill myself. All because I was shy, quiet and awkward. I was thrown in the boy’s bathroom by these 3 particular kids who would punch and kick me as hard as they could. I could barely walk as everyday they would abuse me over, and over again. The other kids in school would just laugh at me and no one helped. In fact, those same kids who watched and knew about my abuse would just join in, tease me, and they even threw food at me during lunch. My mom came to school so much to fight for me, but it didn’t help. I had just about given up living in this world. Somehow God saved me and I found writing. It was an outlet to take me away from the pain I was going through in this world. I wanted to create different characters, and a different world just to escape. Writing really saved my life. Now at 42 I just released my first novel. My Dead Blue Caterpillar. I love writing and reading

My Name Is R. D. Murray

This is very hard to write and a little watered down. I don't want to say everything that happened to me, but when I was in the 3rd grade I was bullied so badly I wanted to kill myself at times.. I think it happened because I was shy, quiet and awkward. I was thrown in the boy’s bathroom by these 3 particular kids who would punch and kick me as hard as they could. I could barely walk as everyday they would abuse me over, and over again. The other kids in school would just laugh at me and no one helped. In fact, those same kids who watched and knew about my abuse would just join in, tease me, and they even threw food at me during lunch. My mom came to school so much to fight for me, but it didn’t help. I had just about given up living in this world. Somehow God saved me and I found writing. It was an outlet to take me away from the pain I was going through in this world. I wanted to create different characters, and a different world just to escape. Writing really saved my life. Now at 42 I just released my first novel called My Dead Blue Caterpillar. I have to say I still am a bit shy so this is hard for me, but I am starting a program to be a spokesperson and sort of a one on one help for kids that are being bullied or have went through the affects of being bullied. I am here because I love writing and reading and hope to meet new people.....

Good evening/ morning, My name is Samantha, I'm the owner of Book Lovers Cozy Cafe, review blog. I've been a reviewer since 2011, and I enjoy reading Indie author books and reviewing them. I haven't been able to read as much as I used too, due to my work/school schedule. But i'm gonna try to get back into reviewing in the near future. I am strictly Paranormal, that means, vampire, werewolves, fairies, aliens, sometimes ghosts, etc. etc. Anything outside that genre does not hold my interest.

I'll be looking for reviewers, so if you're interested, please let me know.

[John]

Hi everyone,

This is my first group on Goodreads, so if I do commit any faux pas please let me know.

Really getting into a book is fantastic experience, to state the obvious, but by reading your reviews and discussions and getting to know you a bit better hopefully may widen my scope.

This year I did get a book published by a small publisher 'The Ghost of Crow Cavern,' so, getting more people to read it and to read their opinions would be great and my old pal who helped me with the book has a really dark and funny book out himself, so it would be great to get more people reading and offering their view on his work.

Looking forward to the journey!

[Timothy]

Hello and happy new year!

I'm primarily a novelist, though I've had some success as a screenwriter and playwright as well.

I write literary thrillers and mysteries set around the world: Africa, Greece, Palestine/Israel, Istanbul (a novel-in-progress), and soon to be released: The Fourth Courier set in Poland. I lived and/or worked in all these places, and I draw on those experiences for my settings and characters. Suffice it to say, I've had a rather intense and exciting life, which is briefly described on my Author page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show....

Probably the biggest influences on my writing were Graham Greene and John LeCarre, and more recently, Joseph Kanon, Moshe Hamin, Sebastian Faulks, and Robert Goolrick. That's an odd array, I know, but combined they give me strong plots with memorable characters. About one of my earlier books, a reviewer wrote that I did for the thriller what John LeCarre did for the spy novel: elevate the genre to a literary form. I'll take that compliment!

I have two published novels by Owl Canyon Press. For my third novel, I recently signed with Trident Media Group for literary representation, and that book - The Fourth Courier - will be published by Arcade Publishing (an imprint of Skyhorse Publishing, the fastest growing independent publisher in America).

I'm gay, and all my novels have gay protagonists or sidekicks, in such roles as journalists, soldiers, or FBI and CIA agents. My novels are not gay sex novels. Instead, because I have lived around the world, I try to portray what it's like for gay people in those cultures, and make it a feature of the plot. There's always a plot twist that wouldn't happen - or not in the same way - if the gay factor weren't there.

That's me in brief. I look forward to exploring better than I have before this incredible network called Goodreads.

[Denver]

Hello everybody

I'm Denver, I work as a creative copywriter and fiction author. I would like to connect with writers, share interests and get inspired, and I'm looking for BETA readers and ARC reviewers. I've written three self published books, the first of which is a cyber-punk science fiction that wrestles with the themes of anarchism in societies and the fundamental chaos in the universe. (https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Cypher-R...)
If you've any recommendations for science fiction writers who would like to exchange reads for reviews, or you would be interested in writing one for me, please get in touch and I'd be happy to provide a free copy of my work. Equally, I'm looking forward to reading something new! Glad to be a part of the community :)

Hi Everyone!

A very Happy New Year to you all.

I am a first time Author and have written the book, Live More: Magic Begins with You. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...

I am here to increase engagement on Goodreads and it would be amazing if I'd able to find reviewers here.

Thanks.

[Heather]

Hi everyone, I'm Heather Hawley and I'm relatively new to Goodreads and finished my first book in June. I can't believe all the amazing resources and ways to connect to the community there are. I was very excited to find this discussion group because I have become obsessed with paranormal romance and embrace any recommendations you might have.

 

I recently finished reading all of Laurann Dohner VLG series (Drantos) and am currently reading Drew Jordan's book, Crash. 



If anyone knows any good books like Brenda K Davies Vampire Awakenings series (Awakened) or anything by Laurann Dohner please let me know. I devoured those books and was left with that feeling we all get of "it was SO good... now what?" 



I tried my hand at writing my own this year after receiving upsetting news that I would have open heart surgery in July… so to counteract the anxiety and stress I wrote Imprint and actually enjoyed the experience. Plus, it worked wonders on keeping my head straight.

Feel free to send me a friend request. =)



I look forward to reading more from this group!


Happy Reading!

[Michael]

Hi all,
I have 5 books of fiction out on Amazon—all in 2018 (I "unbottled" goes the expression). The closest I can come to a genre is "comic fantasy" but with streaks of doom. I sell at a snail's pace, and my goal for 2019 is editorial reviews/awards. I'm wondering if anyone submits for the various reviews or awards and how that route goes. Any experiences there you care to relate? Thanks!

[Timothy]

Hello everyone,

I write literary thrillers with gay protagonists and/or other gay characters. I have a new book coming out in April - The Fourth Courier - in which a straight FBI agent and a gay CIA agent team up to solve an international case of nuclear smuggling. I've had two books published by a small press in the past. For The Fourth Courier, I've been picked up by Trident Media Group, which sold the book to Skyhorse Publishing (the fastest growing independent book publisher in America). It's all very exciting, and it's very exciting to read what you are doing, too.

The Fourth Courier: A Novel

[Heidi]

My name is Heidi Allen and I’m the founder of the Positive People Army. An online positive movement dedicated to spreading positivity and supporting thousands of people around the world. I’ve always been someone who felt I was supposed to make a huge difference in people’s lives and after a devastating breakdown about 3 years ago, the Positive People Social positive movement was born.


I’m reaching out to you today because I wanted to ask if you could do a review of my new non-fiction book I recently had published called Stories: Finding Your Wings. The stories are simple—yet powerful—vignettes of my life that perfectly illustrate the magnitude of results when one chooses positivity. The beauty of these relatable snippets of real-life is the amplified way it resonates with everyday people. Whether it be having a meltdown in Costco or finding out your act of kindness saved a life, we can all pinpoint similar events in our own lives—and that is the magic of this book. (Press Release is attached)

Also, after each story I’ve added a number of questions for the reader to discover more about themselves. These questions can create lively discussions to deepen relationships between members of your group.

Readers will discover:

• How to navigate their own stories to find key lessons in your life;
• The steps I took to understand my true purpose, and how they can find theirs;
• The profound lessons that each person can learn from their kids, marriage and friends;
• How to broaden their mind to be open to the signs & messages sent to us from the Universe;
• And how long-lost memories can reveal important answers and lessons

Stories: Finding Your wings is available at Indigo (here is a link to read some of the reviews https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/...), Barnes and Noble and globally on Amazon. It will also be available as an e-book in about 2 weeks.

Here is a link to Amazon with the “Look Inside Feature” https://www.amazon.com/Stories-Findin.... I can also forward a digital Galley of the book for you to read.

I would love to chat with you if you are interested in doing a review. I look forward to hearing from you!

[Cally]

Also if your a lover of PNR/UF and are interested in doing a review, that would be wonderful, just send me a message!!!

[Bonnie Evie]

Hi everyone!

I'd count myself as more of a reviewer than a writer at the moment; although I love to write, I've only really had a few small pieces published. I currently review books via GoodReads, Netgally, through my blog LostInTheStacks.co.uk, as well as for Happiful Magazine.

I love reading horror, manga, YA, LGBT+, and slice-of-life fiction, as well as books with positive depictions of mental health.

Writing-wise, I prefer to stick to YA and horror.

[Saraya]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Saraya and I'm new to GoodReads. I'm a writer/illustrator, currently working on a series of short stories. My work is inspired by the local folklore surrounding my coastal Virginia farmhouse, built in 1730. When I'm not writing, working on an illustration or reading, I work as a curator in our local art gallery.

I'm very much looking forward to reading works by new authors as well as having others read my own works.

Cheers,
Saraya

[Denise]

Hi hi! I'm a reader and would be happy to review books to help authors. I love romantic novels, but I read almost anything that grabs my attention.

Currently, listening to audiobooks is how I get my reading done, although I still prefer hard copy for work books.

My best friend is a budding writer, and my dream is to help her get published. :)

Thanks for having me.

Spin

Hi -- My novel called Spin is a fast-moving story of a "spin doctor" who takes on a Silicon Valley company assignment and finds himself in a whirlwind of scandal and skullduggery. I'd love for more people to read it and review it. The reviews I've had in Amazon so far suggest that it is a fun read.
