[Mal]

Thank you, Rick, and thank you to everyone else who may have stumbled on my reviews on Goodreads, or on the more extensive list of reviews and commentaries on my blog at www.malwarwickonbooks.com.

My name is Mal Warwick. I'm happy to be part of this larger community, and I invite you to follow my blog, which has begun to gain a significant following.

I read and review nonfiction, chiefly current affairs and history, as well as fiction, including thrillers, mysteries, and historical novels, with occasional trade novels thrown into the mix.
.
FYI, I also write nonfiction. In the past, I wrote about my professional specialty, which was fundraising for nonprofit organizations. My 20th book, now in process, is about a novel strategy to end world poverty.

wonderful to welcome you Mal!!

[Mal]

Rick, why are all the comments arranged in chronological order? Practically everywhere else I've gone, they're in reverse chronological order, so that visitors see the newest posts at the top. Isn't this possible? Or do you have some reason to arrange it the way you do?

You control the color and contrast
You control the horizontal and the vertical.
You can control the order of posts with the 'date' and 'newest' at the top of the thread.
We now return control of your computer to you.

[Kenneth Kwame]

My name is Kwame. I've seen so many James Mason movies I've lost track! I love all kinds of books, especially ones that become movies, thrillers, war/action, adventure, sci fi, and erotic fantasies.

Shakespeare, Chaucer, Jean Toomer and Charles Dickens are the best!

Big welcome to all new members.
I find this group interesting. They bring up books that I've read years ago. This sends me to the book store for re-reads.

I'm an author, reader and retired.

[Mary]

Hi Rick and Friends, I love this group but I have been MIA, trying to get my second book moving. I just want to let you know that DEADLY PLEASURES is now on sale at Kindle for .99. What a deal!! Blueink called it "Sex in the City meets James Patterson." And Kirkus went so far as to say they would recommend it for men. This is an exciting murder mystery with a quirky back story. I just gave it to Patrick McNee so
we'll see what he says. Glad to be back, Mary Firmin

[Richard]

Hi Rick. I introduced myself earlier on this thread. Being a new member, I find myself making many friends on this site. I don't understand how to make the best use of friending people on Goodreads. Can you send them messages as a group? Can you send info to them individually? I can't find anywhere on Goodreads that gives info on how to communicate with them. Any suggestions?

Hi Richard- I carry on many conversations with members one on one- the best way is to click on their picture- under it is "SEND A MESSAGE' click on that- and you can email all of the new friends you have!
Hope this helps!
Best to you

[Natasha]

Hello! Thanks for the invite. I am a Texas girl who loves to read and write romance, because every girl needs a bit of romance in their lives! My debut novel Simple Pleasures was published in February so I've been busy getting it out into the hands of romance readers and even in the hands of those who aren't normally readers of romance. During the week you can find me substituting in the high schools in subjects ranging from English to Welding...(I don't discriminate)but hopefully I will put my English degree to work next year with my own high school English class trying to create lovers of literature.

[Barry]

Barry James Hickey here. I'm pounding away at my fourth novel, tentatively titled Midnight in Purgatory. There are 3 phases to my writing - researching ideas for a book - writing the book - saying goodbye to the book to make room for the next adventure.

[Mary]

Barry I love your post. I didn't know there was a plan. Sounds good to me. Just working on my second and I can't seem to get back to it in a full time way. I think I have to stop all the tweeting and extra stuff and just concentrate. Thanks for making me think about it. Mary Firmin

Thanks so much, Rick. I love being part of this club.

[Graeme]

Hello all, I'm thrilled to be a member of this group. I'm Graeme, a Brit living in California. Mostly I read fantasy and sci-fi but my library at home is full of all sorts of books.

Favourite fantasy includes Steven Brust Taltos series, Fritz Leiber, and Pern books by the late great Anne McCaffrey, bless her.

My debut YA fantasy novel is out in a couple of months: "Ocean of Dust".

Feel free to email me with discussions about anything. I love to chat with anyone.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell, about the only people who read this particular post are writers like myself curious to see if any goodreads reader responded to my "shout out." Rick does a great job, and the rest of the James Mason is excellent. I simply have the feeling that when it comes to stirring up interest in our writing, there's not much happening here or on any other goodreads site. Reader interest comes, in my opinion, solely from getting to know someone well and having a real relationship with him/her.Am I wrong?

Interesting point- that's why I very much strive to make this a "Community" in which there are many threads for all members- readers (like me) and writers to interact in more than a simply superficial manner- but have meaningful discussions on a wide variety of topics - hence forming that vital meaningful relationship

[Monty]

Having done impressions of James Mason with actor friends, I became obsessed with details of his life that led to the writing of the novel, "James Mason Lives!". My blog entry has the details. Although I am a much published author, I have never been able to get a publisher to read my James Mason character novel.

I agree Rick.

I hang back & read the posts but seldom contribute, yet the opportunity is always there if something strikes my fancy.

Like now.

[Andy]

Thanks for the invite!

I'm the author of dark fantasy novel, The Darkening Dream, as well as the co-founder of video game developer Naughty Dog and creator of Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter.

My debut novel, The Darkening Dream, fuses intense action with a love of history and all things supernatural. On the eve before creation God created ten special things, among them the Archangel Gabriel’s horn, destined to sound the End of Days. But what happens if you’re a seventeen year-old girl and an ancient evil thinks it’s hidden in your basement?

best,
Andy Gavin

Well I came here to build relationships. I may happen to have a few books out there - but I am first and foremost a reader (as can be seen by my books read shelf of over a thousand books and that's only the tip of the iceberg) and this thread seems like a good place to start as any.

We're talking - so that's a good sign to begin with. :)

Hey hey everyone! Thanks so much for the invite to this group. My name is Norm Schriever and I'm the author of 'Pushups in the Prayer Room,' a wild, gritty, dangerous, sexy, and hilarious account of a year I backpacked around the world. www.NormSchriever.com I'm on here to network with other readers and authors to grow my craft and get some honest feedback and ideas on my work.

Michelle,
You are a very special person indeed.Reader's are no doubt fortunate you just happen to have a few(self-published) books to help cement those burgeoning relationships.
BTW, even a self-published poet should recognize that when you begin a commentary with "Well,I came here to build relationships,"you are not only directly insulting the person whose comment you are referring to, but indirectly insulting all other authors who by inference are not as noble- minded as yourself.
Words are very important. A writer should be careful how she uses them.

Sorry I completely miss your point here. I have obviously upset you and I didn't mean to do so. I will remove myself from this thread with sincere apologies for any offense caused :(

Not at all necessary. If it was unintentional there is no problem. Please remain. Chalk it up to me getting crotchedy in my old age. Best.

If you would like to be a "test reader', I'll send you a pdf file so that you can read it on your computer. Request it at mjoynes@charter.net. Then I would welcome your reaction. If there is enough buzz, maybe a publisher will remember James Mason as a star.
