4. I didn’t find out about indie publishing and indie books on Amazon until 2014 (crazy, I know). Ever since then it’s mostly what I read until I joined Goodreads and I’m not discovering a whole host of indie and traditionally published books.

Líadáin Douglas | 1 comments 1. My author name is Líadáin Douglas. At the moment I have a need to keep my day-job and my writing separate, so I haven't connected my real identity to my stories in any way.
2. I write primarily romance and fantasy romance (yes, this includes erotica). I read a little bit of everything, from fantasy to sci-fit to historical fiction to classic literature.
3. My most recently released story is "Happy With... Them" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...). It just released yesterday, so it doesn't have any ratings other than mine as yet.
4. I also make jewelry and dabble with small polymer clay sculpture.

Kristen Twardowski (kristen_twardowski) | 2 comments 1. Kristen Twardowski
2. I'm a fantasy junkie, and I blame my father for that. When I write though, I delve into other genres, such as thrillers and science fiction.
3. I recently published my debut novel When We Go Missing. It's a fast-paced psychological thriller, and I'm still stunned that it is in print.
4. Before I worked in publishing, I helped do research on North American Grey Wolves. I even had the opportunity to help raise several litters of wolf puppies! Fair warning if you ever meet any: the babies have needle teeth.
