Now it's your turn to win an award, dear Awad. There are enough to go around!
Congrats, Robin. You got that award simply because you deserved it. I bet you're planning for the Noble Prize in Literature. Why not? Umm…Well, let it be in the following few years.

Hi Robin,SOME beautiful people made SOME promise for SOME one when they have SOME time, SOME weeks ago. For SOME reason, perhaps when they got SOME more beauty, they needed SOME people to remind them of SOME thing: SOME one's book needs SOME review. SOME hope that SOME one will hear SOME reply from SOME people whom he estimates highly. That SOME one will really owe SOME critics/ reviewers SOME (a lot of) gratitude, SOME gratefulness and SOME appreciation.
Hi Awad!You're funny! I have about 42 books promised ahead of yours, sorry. I can only do so much. I am an author, not a pro reviewer. I will take a look when I can. And I will review it if I feel I can give it a 4 or 5 rating. Warm blessings.

HI! I am Amit, an academic social scientist and educational administrator based in India. Joined this group recently to connect to a community of avid and interrogating minds that are both open as well as sensitive. Look forward to exchanges with members that enlighten and empower.

Are you a writer too? What kind of books do you like to read?
Hi Robin! Thanks for your message. I do write. In fact, I am compelled to write professionally - mostly of the academic kind and on political and social themes. However, of late, I have developed a deeper interest in creative writing and philosophical themes and have started penning prose poems and essays in my mother tongue. I like to read any book broadly falling within social sciences and human sciences domains and the one that is created using words exuding the power of the mind, honesty of purpose, unpretentious approach and beauty.
Shall look forward to learn from as well as contribute to the process of sharing occurring here in this group...

Hi . I am Apoorva. I want to be a writer. But don't know how to start.
Apoorva wrote: "Hi . I am Apoorva. I want to be a writer. But don't know how to start."Hi Apoorva,
Have you taken any writing classes? Do you keep a journal?
Hi! I'm Danielle. New to group & wanted to introduce myself. I'm an environmental studies major at UNLV. Looking for new books and opportunities to learn more about compassion and civic engagement :)
Hi Robin. No, I have not taken any classes on writing. But I aspire to be a writer.If you could help anyhow.
Apoorva wrote: "Hi Robin. No, I have not taken any classes on writing. But I aspire to be a writer.If you could help anyhow."
I can only suggest that you start writing down things that come to you in a journal. Start playing with words. Don't worry about publishing till you have had plenty of time to experiment, to find your way of "speaking" on paper, to get comfortable with word-play and developing ideas. Also, reading books that inspire you--studying how authors get their ideas across can be very helpful.
Thanks Robin. I'll definitely look up to your advice.
Apoorva wrote: "Thanks Robin. I'll definitely look up to your advice."You are so welcome, my friend! Happy writing!
Hi everyone. I just joined your group. I'm from the Philippines. I have yet to chase my dream of becoming an author. I hope that I would get some ideas to you fellow readers. As of now, I read as much as I can so that when I finally write my book it would be spectacular like all the ones I have ever read. You, fellow readers are my inspiration as to why I wanna be an author someday. Here I am showing my support to what ever you want to do in your life. Keep living between the lines! :)

Welcome! Since you like to read meaningful books, I suggest my award-winning novel THE IMPROBABLE WONDERS OF MOOJIE LITTLEMAN. It's the story of a disabled boy orphan who is looking for a family, and finds much more. "A masterpiece of visionary fiction."--Tom Hoffman. Don't worry, it has a upbeat ending!

Hello my name is Shaheer Henderson I am a father of five beautiful children and the husband of a loving wife (Jasmine). I have been writing sense 1999, poetry was abs still is my best thing to do. However, writing books was never something I thought of doing until 2006. In 2006 I wrote my first book called, "The Book"; this book focused on, love, marriage, and companionship. However, I did not Like the direction of the book. Thus, I did not continue with the publication of the book. Fast forward to 2012 six years later, with a new outlook I started my next relationship book called, "My thoughts on Relationships". This book is the one book that will answer questions about everything possible. Further, this book is still in the process of being created, because I want to be very careful with how the message is delivered. I hope to find new inspirations in this group, and I hope to learn more as well. Thank you in advance Shaheer Henderson follow me.
Hi Shaheer,Very nice to meet you. I followed you. Would you like to follow me, too?
Warm blessings,
Robin
Hello, everyone, I am new to this group. My name is Dean Robertson (a Ms, not a Mr), I am a seventy-year-old first time grandmother, first time author, retired English teacher, veteran of the love and the changes that came rolling into this country in the early 1960's. Last year I wrote a book. An unexpected event as I've never had any aspirations to write a book. It is a memoir about these very subjects--love and change--as it narrates the stories of the women in an unconventional Bible study in an unusual assisted living facility. It is about the power of community and the power of love and trust. I was the leader of that Bible study. It was magic to watch these ninety-year old women, not looking for a new lease on life, blossom as they discovered their own voices and listened to the voices of others, discovered that they could be heard and respected, could ask hard questions, say outrageous things, in this safe place we created. It is also the story of a nineteenth-century woman, for whom the Home is named, the new bride of a Union soldier, returned to Norfolk, VA, after the Civil War, to make his fortune in lumber. While her husband was building one of the largest lumber empires in the Southeast, Lydia Roper was birthing children and taking to the streets of Norfolk to establish homes for unwed mothers and to work with women and the poor. She took her love into her adopted city and died a well-loved citizen. I would like to add my book to the bookshelf and several blog posts and my website wherever they are appropriate. Lovely group to have found.
Hi Dean!Congratulations on your book. It looks interesting. I added it to my TBR list and followed you. Rudyard Kipling is one of my favorites, too!
My debut novel, THE IMPROBABLE WONDERS OF MOOJIE LITTLEMAN, might interest you. It is a story about, among other things, a disabled boy's awakening. It has won 14 awards. Presently, I'm working with a producer to develop a screen adaptation. And I just signed a contract for a Chinese translation. Yay! I wonder if you would like to read a little snippet: http://bit.ly/2aN0SW5

The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman
Hi, Robin,I have both FB and Twitter accounts but have tapered off a good deal on both those sites, just for lack of time.

You'll see on both pages some samples of book reviews I've done for over twenty authors over the past year--all free. Would you be interested in swapping reviews? Or, I will be happy to review your book if you'll subscribe to my blog (don't do it yet; a rebuild is in progress) http://pdrobertson.com.
Meanwhile, I'll check out your accounts and take a look at the excerpt from MOOJIE LITTLEMAN.
Robin,I love the book and, perhaps even more, your "other writings" and your blog. It appears we have a good bit in common. I lived in northern California for a number of years, got my M.A. at Cal State Sonoma, then headed back to the Southeast and my family. I spent two wonderful years in Berkeley and another two in Bodega Bay.
I, too, believe in healing and, especially in the wonderful myth of the wounded healer.
And the literary nature of your blog posts is exciting to this retired teacher of literature--30+ years in independent secondary schools and small colleges.
Greetings to Love & Social Change. Just joined this group. I play the piano and the drums. I write self-help and spiritual books.

Hi Dean!
Nice to hear from you. It looks like you have lived in some of my favorite California places. I'm glad you are recovered and back at home. I think The Bible is a very, beautiful book, especially Isaiah, Psalms, and the New Testament. I put your book in my TBR list. I'm afraid I'm about a year behind right now. I'm working with a producer to develop a film adaptation of my book. Will get to it when I can!
Warm blessings,
Robin

Hi Touloo! Nice to meet you. Since you are interested in THE LITTLE PRINCE, I think you might like my book THE IMPROBABLE WONDERS OF MOOJIE LITTLEMAN. It is more complex and realistic than THE LITTLE PRINCE, but reviewers are comparing the two. Here is an excerpt: http://bit.ly/2aN0SW5 My book has won 14 awards and is being translated into Chinese.

Hi everybody,My controversial book "The Jesus Phenomenon" is available for FREE for a limited time!
Download your copy in exchange for an honest review at Story Cartel - https://storycartel.com/books/the-jes...
Greg Rigby
Welcome, Greg, I'm going after this book. I have been teaching The Bible as Literature for over 30 years and I would say that "controversial" would be a fair description of my approach. I am eager to read "The Jesus Phenomenon."
Hi All. What a great idea for a book club! I'm Michael, married with one YA son living at home. I'm an ex clinical psychologist who grew more and more concerned over time about the powerful social forces that catalyzed mental illness in my patients So, over the years I've been involved in several areas of activism (anti apartheid, trade unionism, restorative justice, LGBTQI, environmental sustainability). I have wide reading interests ... those most pertinent to social justice are dystopian novels and critical theory on the nonfiction side .
Michael wrote: "Hi All. What a great idea for a book club! I'm Michael, married with one YA son living at home. I'm an ex clinical psychologist who grew more and more concerned over time about the powerful social ..."Hi Michael,
Welcome to the group. What an amazing life you are leading. Can you tell me what the "QI" stands for in LGBTQI? Are you a writer? Tell us about your work.
I'm interested in diversity as well. My début novel is about a disabled orphan who is determined to find a family he can claim his own.
Warm blessings,
Robin
Hi Robin. Thanks for the warm welcome. Q = Queer and I = Intersex. My work is evolving ... I'm planning an online launch pad for socially conscious businesses that aim to be the next Body Shop, Whole Foods Market or Newman's Own. :)
Welcome, Michael. You are dealing with a subject way too invisible and in great need of work like yours. Thanks on behalf of every one of my many LGBTQ friends.
