[Marie]

I thought I had posted in here and I have realized I forgot to come on this thread after I joined. I joined because Graeme invited me about five or six months ago. Sorry that I didn't post an introduction.

With that being said: My name is Marie and I live in Florida (USA). I like to discuss other things besides books. I am not an author, but I am a big reader! lol :)

[Nik]

Hi Marie and welcome!

With indie revolution on the one hand and gadgets, films and other distractions substituting reading for some people on the other, nowadays I wouldn't insist that writers are rarer than big readers -:). We, in our turn, gladly accept both!
Books, of course, but more than these we have lots of other subjects - some serious, some not so much. Hope you'll enjoy and contribute

Thank you for letting me be in your group. :) I have already been making my way around on the threads. :)

[Graeme]

Hi Marie,

Welcome to the group.

Cheers Graeme

[Howard]

Someone kindly invited me to join, I have the good fortune of having a very old novel THE DAMASCUS COVER recently filmed and my latest novel TO DESTROY JERUSALEM has been out two weeks.Howard Kaplan
To Destroy Jerusalem

[Nik]

Hi Howard and welcome,

Congrats on filming Damascus and airing Jerusalem!
Hope you'll enjoy and contribute to the discussions

Maybe not exactly viral, but not bad-:)

That's awesome! Does Howard get some kind of a prize? Or is that the 10,000th member?

[Nik]

A drink is on me, no matter whether u r 99 or 2001-:)

[J.]

Hello,

I'm J. and I was invited to join by Graeme. I have all of the writing chops of a disgruntled high school english teacher but none of the grammatical skill. I apologize in advance for the commas, run-on sentences and dangling participles.

[Nik]

Hi J. & welcome!

We have very few Mr, Ms or Mrs Impeccable here, so just accept members as they are.
Hope you, in your turn, won't give us very low grades too and will otherwise enjoy and contribute -:)

[Janice]

Hi, retired, now from teaching and the medical field. LOVE to read and help out others. TY for the welcome!
Jan

[Nik]

Hi Janice, glad to have you here!

Hope our occasional debates won't spoil a tranquil retirement for you and you'll enjoy and contribute -:)
And thanks for your willingness to help. Noticed you'd already picked up a book of one of the authors here.

[Leonie]

Welcome Janice and J!

[Graeme]

Hi J and Jan, welcome aboard.

[Blue]

Hi everyone-

My name is Blue and I currently reside in the Southeast of the US. I’m a Wisdom Elder (don’t do ‘old’ - too much debilitating energy attached to the word, so I’m seeking to change the lexicon) and took two degrees in 2015: Language and Culture, Spanish (focus is Inequality in the Global South, primarily, and the history thereof); Political Science; and a minor in Russian. I’ve traveled a bit, lived in Europe, and love the Beautiful Game.
Im currently writing a book of Essays, and I write in all my languages. I’m looking forward to interacting with what appears to be quite a vibrant and interesting group of folks.
Cheers.

[Nik]

Hi Blue & welcome!

Allowing for your diverse experience, knowledge and interests we hope you can contribute a lot to our discussions here and equally enjoy the feedback of our global (soon extraterrestrial?) community.

[Graeme]

Hi Blue, welcome to the group. Looking forward to seeing you on the threads.

Nice to have a new and interesting person here. Looking forward to seeing you around.

Hi, I'm Cinda from Canada. I joined this group because of the international focus. At home, people talk about traffic, real estate, and oil and gas pipelines. Oh, and the winter weather too, of course. That talk gets boring fast, so I'd like to know what's going on in other places.

[Nik]

Hi Cinda & Welcome!

You'll surely hear the voice of 'other places' here and maybe even a bit of US-Canadian friendly teasing -:)
Hope you'll enjoy & contribute your local perspective.

[Leonie]

Hi Cinda!

It's summer where I am. We can talk about how hot it's been, and how envious we are of cool weather 🤣

[RuinEleint]

Hi!

I am Arka from India. Graeme invited me ages back and since then I have lurked and read the various interesting discussions. My primary subject of interest is history in which I have some academic knowledge though my primary recreational reading interests are fantasy and science fiction. I also love listening to music, specifically rock and metal. The diverse array of topics here are all really interesting to me.

[Nik]

Hi Arka & Welcome,

Glad you've decided to come out of the shadows and make your presence known. We don't bite! With your historic bend I assume you might be able to contribute a lot on different issues and offer your local perspective from India.
I guess our music corner is a bit underdeveloped. Rock & metal sound good. I probably would sound as a dinosaur remembering bands like Skid Row & Motley Crue, although I do listen every once in a while to a bit more modern Rammstein and Therapy?
Anyhow, hope you'll enjoy & contribute

[Àngela]

Good evening everyone! My name is Àngela and I write as a hobby. I am new to the group but it seems such an interesting place.

I moderate a Whatsapp group for writers, which might be an extra tool to get inspiration if we all contribute.

If you are interested on being a part of it just send me a message and I will add you.

Have a nice evening!

[Nik]

Hola, Angela, and welcome!

Glad to meet a colleague - moderator from Whatsapp dimension -:)
Hope you'll enjoy and contribute

[Graeme]

Hi Angela, welcome to the group.

I have a couple or so more memory lane bands for you, Nik. Poison, Def Leppard, Guns and Roses, Ratt, White Lion, Europe, etc. Though like you, I don't listen to them like I use to, but I do have their cd's sitting in my car. :)

[Nik]

Cool!
... And also to discover, I'm not the only one still having a stack of cd's -:)

[Marie]

Nik wrote: "Cool!

I haven't even attempted to go digital! lol I love my cd's and I have over 300 of them. Maybe that is considered a collection too? :)

[Nik]

Maybe not like vinyls yet, but going the same direction -:)

[Mark]

Hi, I'm Mark. Don't know how I got here. I joined because I wanted to post on the thread about new authors and now I can't find the thread. I was going to mention reading José Saramago's novel Seeing. It's my first of his books and it is the first 21st century novel I've ever tried. It's kickin! - )

[Nik]

Hi Mark & welcome!

As long as you are here, "how" is not important-:)

Hope you'll enjoy, as much as you've started to contribute

[Mark]

Thank you, Nik, for your friendly welcome. I hope I can have fun too!

[Nik]

Hi Ella & welcome!

Congrats on moving to Bulgaria and publishing the first. Best of luck with it! I guess you are a living proof that the sales pitch of Bulgarian developers and agents that Brits come and buy properties there is not entirely hollow -:)
Looking forward to you participation.
Hope you'll enjoy & contribute

[Graeme]

Hi Ella, welcome to the group and good luck with your book.

[Graeme]

Hi Kris, welcome to the group. Looking forward to seeing you on the threads.

[Nik]

Cool, glad to hear. Been to Sofia many years ago and know people owning properties there and spending a big chunk of their summers. Are you in the beach area or elsewhere?

[Nik]

Sounds nice! Any expats around or only locals?

[Nik]

I'm sure you'll master it in the end. Socializing with the locals is probably the best means to get there

[Yvonne]

Hi,
I'm Yvonne from Germany and I joined this group because I'm interested in discussions about current world affairs, movies, series and so on.

[Nik]

Hi Yvonne and welcome!

We'd be glad to hear your opinion on the discussed matters.
Hope you'll enjoy & contribute

[Yvonne]

Thanks, I'm sure I will!

[Michael]

He's baaackk....
Hi folks. I guess I missed you. Probably will be doing more listening than posting but I'm here.

[Nik]

Hi Michael & welcome back!

Now that you've returned we won't make do with having you just as a listener, so be prepared to voice your opinion on every subject-:)

Seriously though, and that goes to all the lurking members - pls feel free to barge in on any ongoing thread or set up new ones!

[Michael]

Ha ha! Thanks, Nik. You know I'll pipe in my two cents. Hope all is well.

[Graeme]

Hi Yvonne and Michael, looking forward to seeing you around on the threads.
