Hi all. Rick invited me, and when I saw the name "James Mason" I was hoping it wasn't the name of the guy who started the group. A Star is Born is my favorite James Mason film, followed closely by Yellowbeard. Yes, I'm either eclectic or a little crazy. Probably both. :-)I'm also a Goodreads author. Nice to be here! (You have seven and a half hours left on my giveaway.)
Darkness Rising: Book One of The Catmage Chronicles
Some of my favorite authors: Mark Twain, Patricia McKillip, Shirley Jackson. Many, many more.
Hi and thank you very much for the invitation!I have published 2 romance novels so far, The Royal Sheikh and Her Latin Lover, and am currently editing a third, The Desert Sheikh, which I'm hoing to release next month.
Please drop by my Goodreads author page and my blog to find out more (plus I'm giving away 3 romance novels as part of a blog hop from 20-27 Dec, including the bestselling book Highland Vengeance by K. E. Saxon).

Thank you, Rick, for the invitation to join this group--I belong to several groups on Goodreads that I don't visit very often, but this one seems like a good one! I'm a writer--have published two of a fantasy trilogy called Wolfmoon...the second one, Saille, the Willow, is up for grabs for free on Goodreads until the 23rd, I think...check it out!

Hi there, Im Amanda. I have had 7 volumes of The Thrilling Adventures of Pann Haggerty published and one romance novel called Without Saying A Word. I tend to lean towards writing quirky romance.

CONGRATS!!! Robin Leigh!!
CONGRATS!!! Robin Leigh!!
I am an author. I have written Blessing The Highlander, Tarnished Honor, The Reckoning and Highland Christmas. My genre is Historical Romance (a little history and a lot of romance!). When I'm not writing, I'm consuming books. It's like an addiction. Please visit my websites Coulterhighlanddreams.com, Highlanderinoz.com, and Jleecoulter.wordpress.com.
Hi All,My name is Chasta Schneider. Like many of you, I am an author. I have just published book one of my new, mature YA series Death's Gift to Sabrina. Before that, a romance thriller entitled The Missing Chapters. I've even dabbled in erotica. :) I am always interested in the works of other authors so,for those of you who like to trade books for reviews, feel free to get in touch.
I have no favorite genre, which is probably why I tend to write in many different ones myself. Some of my favorite authors are Jane Austen, Stephen King, and J.R.R. Tolkien if that tells you anything.
I'm always up for a good book discussion. Thank you for the invite.

Rick was kind enough to invite me to join the group, so I wanted to drop in and say hello. I'm Colby Marshall, and my new thriller, CHAIN OF COMMAND, has just released.

hello to all. Darrel Day here and thank you for the invite. I am the published author of four suspense novels titled ‘Abduction’,Penance {the long awaited sequel to Abduction}, ‘Until Death Do We Meet’,Into the Abyss, a Sci-fi titled Ice Changers and a short story series titled The Forest Has Ears. I published my first "short story" novel, a book with four of my short story fiction thrillers titled "Four Short Stories of Suspense." I am the singer/lyrics writer of over 100 songs and have produced a CD titled "SimplyD" that includes 13 of my best songs. I have a great passion for the outdoors and spends as much time as life allows at a lake near my home. I consider the inspiration I find while walking along the shore line immeasurable.

Thanks for the invitation Rick! I began reading at 4 years old and have been known to devour books. I love both fiction and nonfiction. After a decades long corporate career, I have begun making time for writing. I have a novel about 75% complete and a nonfiction that will be published after the first of the year. My nonfiction is a self-help on happiness. It is another way for all of those who have not been able to manifest the perfect life they imagined after "The Secret". You can read a sample chapter on my blog at http://www.ifuthink.com.Happy Holidays and Good Reading to All! Margaret
Thanks Rick for bringing this group to my attention and offering an invitation. For a second I thought James Mason was inviting me—and then I have it figured out now. I love James Mason and will always remember his role in those Disney films. The news this week is that my new writing buddy, Amara has released her first book. “Eternal Defilement.” It's an amazing biography of her childhood years that will bring laughter and tears to anyone who reads this touching story.
I'm joining as a writer who creates stories that are meant to make you laugh and cry and then leave you with something learned.
