Peter Foster | 4 comments Hello Jim. I checked out Spin , read a few chapters on Amazon Canada, and got hooked. You write well, and you have a sense of humour, something which is sadly lacking with many indie authors. I'd be happy to post a brief review on line. (In fact, I would have bought the book right there, but I think that at ten bucks Spin is probably overpriced in this market.) I wish you the best of luck with it.

Jim Lindheim Thanks, Peter. I'll look into pricing. If you're interested in e-book, I'd be happy to send one to you.

It will be my pleasure. pfoster.montreal@gmail.com."Hi again Jim. I got the email from Amazon, thanks. However, Amazon will not allow me to accept the book. They say it's because I'm in another country (Canada) and something about copyright issues. It doesn't make sense to me. Maybe if you go through the same process on Amazon.ca they will allow you to do it that way?

Angela Panayotopulos Hello helloooo... to all 5,562 of you (as of today... and counting). :)

I'm a Greek-American storyteller and diehard coffeeholic. I've penned three novels of my own, the latest being The Wake Up (tadaaaa: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...). It's a paranormal modern fable of love, loss, deceit, and self-discovery, dedicated to the heartbreakers who make us stronger and the heartmenders who make us whole.

I'm looking for kindred spirits and honest reviews for The Wake Up, and am very happy to read, review, and showcase other books in turn. Win-win situations are the best situations. Please feel free to message me if you're interested in a reviewer's free copy.

W.K. Greyling | 10 comments Hiya! My name is W.K. Greyling and I'm author of The Aure Duology, a medieval fantasy series. I also run an online medieval and Renaissance radio station called Ancient FM. And yes, I do listen to my station while I write! I have some Audiobook promo codes available for good homes. They're on a strict diet of reviews, so if you enjoy listening to Audiobooks and like reviewing, shoot me a message. Cheers!

Hi Denise,

So you enjoy Audiobooks. That's great! I have promotional codes from audible.com available for a review of my medieval fantasy Audiobook Beneath the Roots, The Aure Series, Book 1. The code is for the U.S. website but can be used by anyone in any part of the world. Book 2 will be released in Audiobook format in a week, and if you review book 1, I'll happily give you a code for book 2. Both books were professionally edited and have great reviews on Amazon.

Brief blurb: When free spirited Merisande flees into a cursed wood to avoid an unwanted marriage to Sir Avry, she finds herself in a hidden kingdom full of winged people who keep human slaves. Her betrothed follows her there, and they are both captured and enslaved. Having learned that the fae king plans to attack their people and gather more slaves, Avry and Merisande must learn to work together to escape and save their country from impending doom.

If interested, please shoot me a message and I'll send you the code.

Unfortunately, although I read a fair amount of sci-fi and fantasy when I was younger, my interest has waned considerably these days, So I'm not really part of your target audience. Sorry.


message 1169: by J.M. (new)

J.M. Curls | 3 comments Hello everyone,
Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this group.
I am an older woman, say seventy-five years older, who overcame her greatest fear, to write a book. I am now reintroducing myself to the world with a new name and my first literary work. My name is J. M. Curls. My first book is Death Dances.
https://www.amazon.com/Death-Dances-J...

It took courage for me to do both of these things but I have come to know one great truth. It’s now or never. As the title of my first novel asserts, at some point “Death Dances” with us all. I am currently working on a new novel. What a tyrant fear has been. Now I have to get as much done as I can before the music begins to play. Until then I want to make younger friends with similar interests.

Blake Edwards | 8 comments Hello,

My name is Blake Edwards, author and poet. I have two volumes of poetry out currently and a third due out this summer. All are part of an ongoing poetry series Strange Diary Days. I am also a coauthor of Mojo Rising, a zombie satire and allegorical tale due out in March in conjunction with Bothsams Publishing and Friesen Press.


message 1173: by Mary (new)

Mary Walker | 7 comments Hi, I'm introducing myself! This is me, a travel author and blogger:

"Born in Hastings, New Zealand, Mary Jane Walker is the author of seven travel books and a travel blog website, a-maverick.com. Mary Jane first started travelling the world in a serious way in her early twenties, when she joined the crew of a traditional Chinese junk sailing from Canton (now Guangzhou) to Paris via the middle of the Indian Ocean. Mary Jane generally doesn't write about commercial travel destinations, which she tends to avoid. Instead, she writes about countries and people in the round, including things that tourists wouldn't normally be told about."

I'll be putting together an author thread shortly. Looks like a great group!

This is the title of my debut novel, now out on Amazon.com or through my website https://www.alastaircarthew.com
I would welcome reviews.

Alastair Carthew (carthewagmailcom) | 7 comments Kia Ora (Hello in Maori language from my home country of New Zealand). My debut novel, "Proud, a tale of rampant ludicrousness," is now on Amazon.com reachable at http://bit.ly/Proud_NZ or through my website https://www.alastaircarthew.com

The book showcases New Zealand like never seen before. The country's renowned natural beauty under threat from climate change; its famous anti-nuclear policy challenged and rugby like it has never before been presented.

All a bit silly but a lot of fun from "God's Own Country."

I'm trying to add members to post about what they're reading right now, add books of the month from a variety of genres, and gain a community of people who read and are interested in some of the same types of books as me.

Rachael (daisylibrarian) | 1 comments Hello, I'm Rachael and I'm a book enthusiast, as well as (someday) an aspiring author.

I'm looking to expanding my reading horizons as well as hopefully help some new authors along the way, and maybe even in the future, have people be willing to review my own stories.

I've done reviews in the past, but due to life and work, haven't been able to do very many in the recent years, but I'm hoping to be better and help authors in doing so. I have a large preference of YA fantasy, dystopian, Sci-fi, and fairy-tale retellings. I do enjoy other genre's and other age groups as well, but those are my preference of reading.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Melissa | 5 comments Hi everyone!

I'm an economist by day and in my spare time I like to write short stories. I like to write economic fiction - educational but also entertaining - although I am also experimenting with other genres.

Would love to connect with authors and reviewers!

Michael Greco (michaelgreco) | 48 comments Hi Melissa. Curious as to how one gives the oomph to economic fiction. How to make it entertaining? — Bankers as protagonists? Enquiring mind here.

message 1190: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 5 comments Hi Michael. It's definitely a challenge, and for sure it won't be in everyone's taste. But I think if your plot is interesting enough and you don't try too hard to lecture it can work.


message 1191: by Michael (new)

Michael Greco (michaelgreco) | 48 comments Oh, no doubt. I guess the unmasking of corruption may play a big part in some plots, eh? But you're dealing with figures, right? They're not very sexy; intimidating, boring to many. How to breathe life into that sounds like a challenge. Good luck!


message 1192: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 5 comments For sure, the possibilities are endless! Thank you! :)

F.E. Bradley | 5 comments I'm FE Bradley. I just published a YA Novel after waiting 20 years to write it. It's a sympathetic look at a classic horror character set in modern times. Dorian Gray runs across an 18 year old college student that can effect his curse.
I'm looking for reviews and advice. The book is free through KindleUnlimited.
